O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness. – 2 Samuel 22:29(NLT)
MY LORD, MY LAMP
A poem and essay by ILMA
My world without you will be in total darkness
Thank you that you never forsake me in my loneliness
My Lord, you faithfully light my path and lead me
You are my lamp, you guide me and set me free.
When I am most vulnerable, you take my hand
When I am weak, you raise me up and help me stand
For those whose spirit are broken, you came
You put an end to the enemy’s blame game.

Many people are afraid of the dark. There is so much unknown in darkness. There is no way you can find out what is in it. You can use your hands to feel what is around you and guide you as you walk in the pitch black surroundings, but you will still be limited to safely navigate your way in it. There is another darkness that scares us all, the dark path that is brought about by sin. I lived in those dark places for too many years of my life, so I have first hand experience of what it is to be in that dark pit.
The bible tells us that God is the lamp that brings light to the darkness. Hold on to his lamp so that you will not fall into sin.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to stay in your light always.
REFLECTION
How does God manifest his light in your life?
