Let Your Light Shine

Psalm 27:1a

Lord, You are my Light and my Savior.

When you go somewhere dark, you will bring a flashlight. You need the flashlight to see things that can only be reached by light. Light overcomes darkness. When you shine the light in the darkness, the darkness will disappear. 

David declared God to be his light and salvation. God was the light that led David through dark and difficult times. Darkness is the symbol of fear and distress. Light is the opposite of these. God furnished David with such light to beat the darkness. 

God is the Creator of physical light as well as the Giver of spiritual light so that we can see the truth. Without His light, you and I will walk in darkness just like how the world walks. Knowing God, seeking His wisdom, understanding His truth, and living in righteousness will defeat all your fear and distress.

Some people who you know might be living in the darkness. Be a flashlight for them, and shine His light into their darkness so that they can see a new hope ahead of them.

Prayer

Dear God, I am not scared, and I am going to let Your light shine on me. You are the great Light that overcomes the darkness in and around me. Amen.
