THE LORD LIGHTS UP OUR DARKNESS

 2 Samuel 22:29-32 NLT

O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.

In your strength I can crush an army,

with my God I can scale any wall.

God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true.

He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

For who is God except the Lord?

Who but our God is a solid rock?

V.47 The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock!

May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!

I don’t know about you, but those words just make you feel better. When King David wrote his inspiring words it was like God was giving him a Blog to write, for us all to read hundreds of years later!😊

The encouraging thing is, everything he wrote, we can say as well. The Lord still lights up our darkness. On those days and nights when darkness presses in on us, and our feelings are at a low ebb, God reassures us that His light is still shining, showing us the way forward if we keep trusting Him. When our strength is not enough, he reminds us we can tap into God’s strength to fight our battles.

Even when we hit a brick wall David had discovered we can climb over it with God’s help. So many people have gone before us to prove God’s promises are as true for us today as they were for them, as long as we keep our eyes on Jesus who is the Rock of our salvation, and trust His words. Jesus is the same today as He was back then. The Lord lives!😊

John 12:46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. 

Lord we ask you to light up any area of darkness in our lives today and we join with the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us who proved Your faithfulness. We praise You because You are the Rock of our salvation and we exalt Your name together. In Jesus name. Amen.
