TODAY’S WORD…

.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

.

– Psalm 27:1 (NRSV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Darkness symbolises distress, trouble, loss of direction, and sorrow.

Light is the opposite.

.

“The Lord is my light”

– He is to me the source of light that guides and leads me.

.

God’s light has a calming yet uplifting effect,

it eases our tension, combats our anxieties,

and it brightens and fills our way with joyful expectation.

.

“The Lord is…my salvation”

The Lord finds me in the dark, but He does not leave me there

– He saves me,

He revives me, teaches me and shows me the way

…and He sets me free.

.

“Whom shall I fear?”

When, in my freedom, I choose to walk with the Lord,

when I put all my trust in Him,

He protects me,

He defends me

and I can rely on Him…fully.

.

What better security is there

than the conviction that God is my friend

– right here by my side, day and night!

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, with You always by my side, I have nothing to fear.
