O Lord, You are my Lamp!

“Yahweh, you yourself are my lamp, my God lights up my darkness.” Psalms 18:28.

For the Psalmist, the Lord was his lamp, shining forth with all power and brightness. The Divine brightness scattered the darkness of the intellect, and with holy and wise counsels and teachings, soon led both the Psalmist and the large congregation into holiness and truth. In our turn, let us too make the Lord our lamp, and accord His Word the highest level of recognition in our lives.
