Let There Be Light!
Dear Friends,
It’s no fun being in the dark. Today’s devotional shows you the way out and the blessings it entails. God bless you!
Because of Calvary,

Psalm 27:1
Psalm 27:1 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
“First comes light, and then salvation. We are not saved in ignorance; the knowledge of our sinfulness is revealed to us, we discover our true condition in the sight of God, and then we perceive the mercy and the love of God. We see first the light and then the fullness of salvation, for this is not a matter of the past only, but of the present. At this very hour, each believer can say, ‘The Lord is my light and my salvation.’ Can you say that, dear friend? If so, there is more real eloquence in that little sentence than in all the orations of Cicero.”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIV, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1898), p. 273]
