“For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness.” Psalm 18:28 (ESV)
A good number of the Psalms written by David expressed how he felt about what God had promised. Psalm 18 was written and spoken to the Lord in song when David was delivered by God from the hand of King Saul who wanted to kill him. It reminds us of how much God is involved in our lives. There is so much darkness in this world and it seems to be getting darker. Our reaction might be despair and fear. We are challenged to not become lost in the darkness and when we become children of God by faith in His Son Jesus as our Savior. We begin to see the difference and to see things in a different way, as God gives us light that overcomes darkness. Just as David realized that God continues to work in our lives – we learn it is day by day and year by year. When darkness tempts us to be overcome by the darkness around us and tempts us to give up, then we remember the promise that our Lord is the keeper of our light He keeps our lamp burning. Let's thank God today for the light he has given to us.
