Illumine Me!

Psalm 18 - 21
My Verse:  18:28  "For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine;  the Lord my God illumines my darkness."

I love the imagery of this verse.  I feel that You, Lord, illumine my darkness continually and progressively.  I know there are days when I feel brighter!  But, because I was born a sinner and live in a sinful, fallen world I know that this illunminating process will not be complete until I am with You in Heaven.

So, Lord, I pray each day that you lighten my darkness - make me glow that others would see You in me.  I pray each day that You will protect me from sinning.  "Who can discern his lapses and errors?  Clear me from hidden faults.  Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!  Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great trangression!" (19: 12, 13)

Only You, Lord, can keep me from the dominating power of sin!  "I love You fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength.  The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God. , my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust  and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower.  I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies." (18:1-3) 

Oh What Blessed Assurance!  Thank You, Lord, for lighting my world!

Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
