Psalm 27

Psa 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Mr. O'Keefe recently taught in this verse during a Sunday morning. In the lesson we learned the condition of David when he wrote it. He was trapped. In a human perspective, he was about to make his last stand. However, David knew the Lord and the calling upon his life. He knew that he was ordained to become king of Israel. Through faith David writes this beautiful Psalm.

Light and salvation go hand in hand. You highschool boys are going to learn that tonight! I picture a ship out at sea. It needs to see the lighthouse in order to get a gauge at how close they are to shore. Without that beam of light all may seem hopeless. With that beam, they carefully gauge their next step.

Fear is the proverbial darkness that causes our shipwrecks. Our light is Jesus. Without Him, fear will destroy us. With Him, we can carefully plan our next steps in this life. Gang, lean on Jesus. Allow Him to provide the hope you need to brighten even the darkest of situations. Like David, you may think you are in the darkest of situations, however the moment you mention the salvation and light that comes from hanging on to Him, you ill notice you are in very good hands.
