Jesus, My Light and Salvation

I learned from an early stage in life to always seek God's face before choosing a romantic partner. At first, this habit formed as a result of my phobia of relationships; I didn't want to dive into a wrong relationship. Then, it became about not wanting to take the blame when things went wrong. Eventually, I simply didn't want to make mistakes at all.

Even after seeking God's counsel for most of these choices, there were moments I stubbornly jumped into situations that felt appealing but ultimately proved harmful. As I grew older, I approached decision-making with more caution. When I became conscious of God's desire to guide my choices, I was relieved.

For someone with a phobia of making choices, this realization was a saving grace. It has led me to cast all my cares, choices, and worries on God, trusting that He knows the right path for me.

While meditating on David's conversation in Psalm 27:1, which says: "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?" (KJV), I gained insight. David, despite his doubts and fears, saw God in every detail of his life. Because he had God, and his confidence was deeply rooted in God's ability, he could navigate a world consumed by darkness.

There are moments when our only desire is a bit of strength to get through the next day or challenge. I often find myself at this crossroads, and I know I'm not alone. Like David, we can choose God as our strength.

David's words remind us that there is a light that will never fail. This light wants to be responsible for us and every aspect of our lives. 

Today, we declare: that Jesus is our light and salvation, and we fear nothing. He wants to be the light that makes your face shine bright.
