My Light
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
I was on a prayer call the other day and I heard this young lady sing the words to the scripture above. Her melody was so beautiful and it still resonates within my soul. The Lord is my light…what is light? The dictionary says that light is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible. Based on this definition the scriptures is saying we don’t truly see. There is another level of revelation that we can have when we know the Lord.
The scripture goes on to say that the Lord is our salvation and why should we fear. I understand that God is our salvation, he sent Jesus his son to the earth to die for our sins. If we accept Jesus as our personal savior then we have eternal salvation. However, I also want to give you what the dictionary says about salvation, it is preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin or loss. If we don’t go to the second definition and stay right there…salvation delivers us from any harm, any ruin or loss. This explains why the psalmist says, he has nothing to fear. Because with the Lord he has preservation, no matter what happens.
The writer goes on to say that the Lord ( the revealer of light) is his stronghold. When I think of stronghold I think great protection someone guarding me. But to ensure accuracy I looked this word up also and the dictionary says a place that has been fortified; so as to protect it from attacks.
Wow, that one scripture says so much about what we receive when we have the Lord. Our vision is made clear, we gain wisdom and understanding because of clear vision. We are operating in clear light and we have nothing to fear. The Lord protects us and keeps us from ruin. Truly with the Lord we have nothing to be afraid of.
If you do not have the Lord as your light, and you would like to have all that he offers, you can receive him right now. The scriptures teaches us that If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10 Below is the simple confession
Father, I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that you are Lord. I believe that you died on the cross for my sin, please come into my heart.
That is it! That simple prayer of confession of your faith has now given you access to the light. Welcome to the family!
Father,
I pray for my sister or brother who has accepted you as their personal savior. Please give them guidance to a wonderful church home that will direct them in your way. Thank you for their new journey in you. I praise you that you are good and you have nothing but good for them. We love you Lord! In Jesus name amen.
