Psalm 43

Send your light and your truth; let them
lead me.
Let them bring me
to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling place.

God’s “light” illumines the path.

It provides insight and disclosure.

Light drives out uncertainty, fear, and hesitancy.

His “truth” guides me, the pilgrim, in the right direction – with righteousness and confidence in the circumstances ahead.

The light and truth do not ensure an easy journey – or one without risk, peril, pain, or cost. But light and truth do ensure the presence of God, the companionship of Jesus Christ, and hope for eternity.

That is the destination on a journey lit by His truth – the hope of everlasting joy in His kingdom.
