Jehovah is
my light and my salvation,
Whom do I fear?
Jehovah is
the strength of my life,
Of whom am I afraid?
Definitions from Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:
“Light”-- illumination
or (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness,
etc.):—bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
“salvation” yeh'-shah, yay'-shah; liberty, deliverance, prosperity:—safety,
salvation, saving.
“strength” -- a fortified place; figuratively
a defence:—force, fort (-ress), rock, strength (-en), (X most)
strong (hold).
Father God, You are my light, my happiness. You give me
clarity. You brighten my life with your peace, with your presence, with your
promises! You light my path through the darkness, pain and trials of this life.
When we get to heaven, we will have no need of sun or moon, as the light of
your glory will provide light for us to see! You are my source of happiness and
joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength! Happiness based on the circumstances
of this life is so fleeting. But when my happiness comes from You – Your love
for me, Your promises, Your Presence – nothing can take away that joy!
You are my salvation. I can see where the name Yeshua means
God saves, since this word in Hebrew is close to it. Oh Jesus, You are my
salvation! You have saved me from my sins! You have saved me from my
depression! You have saved me from many of the trials of this world that I
would have faced had I not become your disciple. You have liberated me to be
myself. I do not have to try to be like someone else in order to be accepted, because
you accept me, love me and delight in me just as I am! You have liberated me to serve you instead of
myself!
Lord, you are my strong tower, my refuge where Satan cannot attack me! You defend me. You protect me. I can hide myself in you where my enemies cannot attack me! I have nothing to be afraid of, as you are bigger and stronger than anything that can come against me! I claim you as my fortress, my stronghold. I hide myself in you away from the attacks of Satan and his angels! No sickness will come against me, as I hide within the walls of your protection! I do not need to fear poor health. I do not need to fear persecution. I do not need to fear financial difficulties. I do not need to fear for my safety. Yes, you promise trials will come, but they will not pull me away from you!
Oh Lord, my God, I love You!
