The cultural context of the time placed great importance on family loyalty and support, making the idea of parental abandonment particularly distressing. This phrase can also be seen as a hyperbolic expression to emphasize the depth of human rejection one might face. Biblically, it echoes the experiences of figures like Joseph, who was betrayed by his brothers, and David, who faced familial strife. It also foreshadows the ultimate rejection Jesus faced, as He was deserted by His followers and felt forsaken on the cross (<a href="/matthew/27-46.htm">Matthew 27:46</a>).<p><b>the LORD will receive me</b><br>In contrast to human abandonment, this phrase highlights the unwavering faithfulness of God. The term "receive" suggests acceptance, care, and protection, indicating that God’s love and support are constant and reliable. This assurance is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/31-6.htm">Deuteronomy 31:6</a>, where God promises never to leave nor forsake His people. Theologically, this reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is portrayed as a divine parent who never abandons His children. This also points to the New Testament understanding of believers being adopted into God's family through Christ (<a href="/ephesians/1-5.htm">Ephesians 1:5</a>), emphasizing the security and belonging found in Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27</a>, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep faith and reliance on God amidst trials.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/f/father_and_mother.htm">Father and Mother</a></b><br>Symbolic of the closest human relationships, representing ultimate earthly support and care.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His faithfulness and eternal presence.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/forsaking.htm">Forsaking</a></b><br>The act of abandonment or neglect, which in this context highlights the potential failure of human relationships.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/r/receiving.htm">Receiving</a></b><br>The act of taking in or accepting, illustrating God's unwavering acceptance and support.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_unfailing_support.htm">God's Unfailing Support</a></b><br>Even when human relationships fail, God's support is constant and reliable.
