Knowing God through His Word … Day by Day

Spurgeon with wonderful encouragement from Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation

Salvation finds us in the dark, but it does not leave us there; it gives light to those who sit in the valley of the shadow of death. After conversion our God is our joy, comfort, guide, teacher, and in every sense our light;

• he is light within,
• light around,
• light reflected from us,
• and light to be revealed to us.

Note, it is not said merely that the Lord gives light, but that he “is” light; nor that he gives salvation, but that he is salvation; he, then, who by faith has laid hold upon God has all covenant blessings in his possession.
