Psalm 27:1 (NIV)
1 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?
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
Under the picture of Peter Milne, hanging in the church he
founded on the little New Hebrides Island of Nguna, these words are found:
“When he came, there was no light. When he died, there was no darkness.” When
Christ came into the world, there was no light. Matthew (quoting Isaiah) said
of Him, “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which
sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up” (Matthew 4:16). Harry
Lauder once said that during his boyhood, he could tell where the lamplighter
was “by the trail of light he left behind him.” Christ was the heavenly
Lamplighter. Everywhere He went, the midnight gloom of sin and despair
disappeared before Him.
Thought for today:
Do I share light or add to the doom and gloom?
