(TEXT: Psalms 27:1)
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
FOCUS :
When we consider some of things that this Psalmist said in this verse, we will understand that there are some levels of confidence that the Psalmist has in God. And that comes with the level of relationship that the Psalmist has built with God over the time. And it is also obvious that the relationship didn’t stop at relationship level, it grew to the level of fellowship. And when you desire to know God, you build a relationship with Him; when you desire to work for God, you will be consistent in your duty post and when you desire to walk with God you have fellowship with Him periodically.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
In addition, permit me to mention just two things that the Psalmist mentioned. The very first thing the Psalmist mentioned about God in this verse is: “the Lord is my LIGHT.” Unfortunately, he is not talking about candle light, stove light, gas light, electric cooker light or Bob light; but he is referring to the particular “Light” that can never be quench or switch off. Believe me honestly, when you have this kind of Light in your life, marriage, business, career, academy, relationship, ministry, or even at your place of work and office; you will always be seen differently. Because you will always be single out for exploit even in the darkest places. The truth about the LIGHT mentioned here is JESUS CHRIST Himself. And when you make Jesus your light, definitely you will always shine through all your storm, rough road, and darkest time or season.
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 9:5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Finally, the second thing the Psalmist mentioned here is that: “the Lord is my salvation”, and he added just immediately after the phrase;” whom shall I fear”? Of course, it is practically impossible to have Jesus Christ as your “Light” (guide, direction and instructor) and yet, you are still living in fear. When you allow Jesus into your situation, immediately fear disappear and Faith set in instantly. However, you must have to be international about the Light shining inside of you. And the truth is, without the Light Himself coming inside of you to chase out the darkness, the work of “SALVATION” won’t begins. So, Light brings salvation and salvation brings about “BRAND NEW BEGINNING WITHOUT FEAR.”
Proverbs 13:9
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
