“You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” Psalm 18:28 (NIV)
We are told by those who study these things that David composed this psalm and sang it when he had come through a difficult patch in his life. David had many such times in his life running and hiding from King Saul who wanted to kill him. Perhaps we do not have someone pursuing us to kill us but we all find ourselves in dark and difficult places in our life. Our God is the same today as He was when He was watching over David. Without God helping us we would find ourselves lost in that darkness. But God keeps the light on for us. God promises to turn our darkness into light, to help us see Him and the path He has made for us even when the darkness of many threats and trials descend on us. Yes, life gets complicated and sometimes things happen to us and our family that makes seeing the way difficult. But God is always with us and with this promise that if we turn to Him, we will see as He is our eternal light. He will never leave us or desert us in darkness but will be with us always in light.
