DAILY READINGS: Deut. 28:1-37; Amos 3-4; Luke 14:1-24
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness. Psalms 18:28
In his early life David was relentlessly pursued by Saul and in later
years his own son rebelled against him. His private life also disappointed
and as he considered these things there is no doubt that
darkness enveloped him. But it is the desire of the Lord that His
saints do not dwell in darkness but in the light. In this verse David
expresses great confi dence that the Lord will light his lamp and enlighten
his darkness. Christ gave us the light when He saved us. We
may be confi dent that in our lives the lamp has been lit and the path
going forward will surely be illuminated. —Roy Hill
I would seek Thee still to give, by night my sleep, by day my bread,
And that the counsel of Thy word, should shine and show the path to tread.
