Scripture Reading
Psalm 27:1
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?
Reflection
David does not ask for light — he declares that God is his light. The difference is everything: when God himself is our illumination and fortress, the question "whom shall I fear?" becomes almost rhetorical. Fear has a diminished grip on those who have settled the question of whose they are. Let today's uncertainty press you toward that settled conviction.
Prayer for Today
Stir up Thy might, we beg Thee, O Lord,
and come, so that we may escape through Thy protection
and be saved by Thy help from the dangers
that threaten us because of our sins.
Who livest and reignest for ever and ever.
All: Amen.
