Send Out Your Light and Your Truth?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask you to send out your light and your truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Early in Psalm 43, the psalmist requests help. He is under attack by the ungodly. He is facing the oppression of the enemy. Yet, even with this opposition, he choses to ask God to intervene. He has hope in God.
Psalm 43 (ESV):
“Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!
Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.”
Never hesitate to ask God to intervene on your behalf. Realize even in face of insurmountable odds, God leads through his light and truth.
