The Lord is my light…….and my salvation…..whom……shall I ….fear?
From Evening Prayer lessons we have Psalm 27. I hear the tune from Lift Every Voice and Sing to the above words echoing in my head every time I read Psalm 27. If I could sing, I would record it for you….but alas, you do not need to hear that unless you are looking for some way to be punished for your sins!
Later in the 8th verse, the Psalmist writes:
8Even now he lifts up my head *
I love that image. Lifts up our heads so we see the light, we see our salvation. Our tender, loving God, like a parent to a small child, gently lifts up our heads so we can gaze upon the light, the light of Christ.
Whom shall I fear?
