You are my lamp, O Lord

“For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.” - 2 Samuel 22v29

It often seems like the world gets darker and darker by the day. Our society seems to be in a state of moral collapse. Sometimes it seems like any light is just a glimmer.

We are going to find no light in the dark world on its own. We live in a day when the prince of darkness has great power and control. The wonderful thing is that our Lord does not leave us without light in these days of darkness. In the Psalms we read that God’s word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths. Here David says that God Himself is his light.

We have a Light we can depend on every day. We need never walk in darkness. If we do we will stumble and fall. God has made Himself a light for us. He will be our lamp and lighten our paths through the darkness.
We must avail ourselves of His light. Lets be sure that we turn on that light as we go into the darkness of this present age.
