Your light and salvation (Psalm 27:1-14)
Matthew 6:22
A lot of people grope about in darkness spiritually. They wander without the real life purpose and care less about spiritual things. Spiritual things? Yes, the earlier everyone understands that she or he is spiritual the better. Do you know you are spiritual? I am not talking about religion. I am talking about the real essence of your personality. You are deeper than you think and I think the creator made it so.
Psalm 139:14
The only reason why such people grope in darkness is just because they are still struggling with or perhaps have not heard of the real light of the world and of all humanity.
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
To such people even the nearest future is so bleak that they cannot discern today. It is necessary to emphasis how much you need the light. In fact more you need the physical light in your house and environment. Light is so indispensable, but as it were light is available even in the physical realm but not everyone is able to see it. This could be so frustrating. That is exactly the same thing that happens in the spiritual realm. Spiritual light is available but not everyone is able to see it and use it. Not everyone even care whether there is any light anywhere. This is the reason why they are groping in darkness.
John 9:39
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some
Light is so indispensable for the eye to function. Have you ever experienced a total darkness, may be in a dark room or dark night? How useful was your eye at that point? Nearly useless. This is because the eye can only see when light is present. This is the same thing in the spiritual realm. It is so frustrating if there is no light around you physically or spiritually. You need the light today.
Jeremiah 6:16
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
As for David, he knew that the only light that can light his realms sufficiently enough is Christ. Even though he lived several thousands of years before Christ was born he knew well enough that Christ is the light of the world. More than this he knew that the same person is both the light and the salvation. He is the guide through life and eternity.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This is a great lesson for us. We claim to be more modern, civilised and up to date than the olden days people. This might be true to a large extent, but we need to be up to date spiritually as well. You need Jesus Christ as your light and salvation. Not only is Jesus the light spiritually, he is the light physically as well. That is why any person, any nation and any people that do not have Christ will still continue to grope in darkness.
John 10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it
Are you tired of groping in darkness? Are you sick of the constant fear of the unknown? Are you scared of the eternity to come? Do you discard the realm of the spirit as non existent for fear of something too deep? Turn your life to Jesus Christ today and you will have enough light to see what lies ahead. You will have the author and finisher of spiritual salvation. You can even do it now as well as renew your commitment to the Lord of your salvation. God bless you.
