Psalm 27 Analysis Essays

Kate said this entry's quote when she was fearfully climbing a mountain on the adventure reality television show, Running Wild with Bear Grylls. These words of wisdom talk about how it's a good thing when a person feels fear if it involves going after something he or she really wants. It means that person is facing that fear and when a fear is faced, it's being challenged. Fear will not go away permanently until we keep challenging it and getting past it. Although it may seem like it goes away when you decide to not take a risk, it's only temporary. It's still locked in your core waiting to come out again the second you encounter another risk that you really want to take. If we're not feeling fearful, we're not doing something that is worth the risk.

This passage talks about how you should not complain to God when you are stuck in a bad situation. The people in this reading complained that they had no food or water and God sent down a Saraph Serpents which killed many of them. They did not see the good in anything they had and just focused on the things that were not pleasant to them. These people finally asked God for forgiveness for only complaining and not listening. It is important to always trust in God. If you follow and believe in God, he will help you get through your difficult situations and make your life worry free. If you disobey God and blame all the bad things that happen to you on him, then your life will continue to be filled with unfortunate things.

There are 150 psalms in the Book of Psalms that were written over the span of 800 years. Most of the Psalms written were made to be sung. There are two main genres of Psalms, which are laments and hymns. David is know to have written 73 psalms, Asaph wrote 12, the sons of Korah wrote 11, Solomon wrote 2, Moses wrote 1 and 50 are anonymous . Although 50 were anonymous, David was certainly the author of the majority of the Psalms.

Fear is being displaced throughout the sermon and is being used to persuade the reader to change into a better person before it's too late. Edward states that, “nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing that you have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment” (Edward, para, 9).The author once again warns the reader that if they do not change they won’t be spared. If the sinner does not change, god will not show mercy towards them and just let them fall into the flames of hell. The author makes it clear that not only god decides but, that the sinner decides what will happen to them. If the sinner does not change or become religious god won’t be able to hold them from falling into hell. Edward tries to get the sinners afraid of hell in order for the sinners to change their

The author of Psalm 78 writes with intentions of giving hope to people after the Northern disaster in 721 BCE. He is attempting to get the people to not lose their faith in God. He does this by reminding his readers of three key things, the first being how much both they and their ancestors disobeyed God. This is an attempt by the author to show the people it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. You cannot continue to disobey God and expect him to keep providing for you. The second reminder is about Gods power. Throughout this Psalm the reader is reminded of Gods divine power, and the past miracles that have been bestowed on the Israelites. The third and final reminder comes at the end of the Psalm, where the people are reminded that God handpicked the tribe of Judah, and handpicked David. This reminds the people to never forget they are the chosen people and God handpicked them. All three of these themes combine to produce the authors message-- As long as we trust in God we will be ok, we are the chosen people, and we have the greatest and most powerful God there could be.

The definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat; it keeps us up at nights and keeps children’s imagination running wild. The notion of fear constantly lingers in our mind and influences our everyday actions. In Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card shows his readers how we let fear drive us. In Karen Thompson Walker’s speech, “What Fear Can Teach Us” addresses why fear is irrational, and that sometimes the most subtle fears have the most merit. In both texts, the concept of fear is not a childish conception, like a nursery rhyme or imagination , but instead is a complex story with many different elements to use and overcome the fear.

Book Two is trying to emphasize three important points that God wants us to understand.

Fear is having yourself locked in chains, unable to do the things you want; a boy experiences this and over time is forced to realize this so that he may grow. He struggles at first, not used to doing things on his own. He fights against his inner demons, trying find a way out of the fear that holds him back. Fear is where the human body and mind immediately change behavior from calm to running away from harm's way. Fear corrodes the human mind, slowly and slowly etching away at one’s self. There are such things to escape such fear, one being hope. Hope opens up brand new possibilities, that fear shuts out for the human mind, being a positive approach to the human mind making it feel secure, joyful, as well as having the courage to do actions that fear was holding the person back from.

Obviously the title says god and it is about a guy preaching that everyone is a sinner and has made god angry. In the passage he says, “oh sinner, consider the fearful danger you are in.” This is a scare tactic. He is trying to get people to believe god is angry at them and that they must turn back to him. The preacher wants them to think if they try to run, they will be punished and sent to hell. This shows a strong focus on religion because he is trying to control people with religion. Using it like a weapon of some sort or as a hypnotic device. However, this guy screaming about religion is not the last

The last segment of the Psalm is Moses’ appeal to God for him to return his presence to his people: “Return, O LORD, how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.” Not only should God return, but Moses asks for complete restoration and for God to bless the work of man: “Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
