The Lord is My Light

Transfers can be a crazy time for a missionary. Especially when you move areas. The other day I was worrying and stressing about all the things that needed to be done. Things I knew, things I didn't know, things I did know but needed to remember, and things I need to learn. Amiss all things going though my mind the words to a famous Hymn ran through my mind

"The Lord is MY light; then why should I fear? By day and by night his presence IS near. He is my salvation from sorrow and sin; This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring."

As I starting singing the song in my head, comfort and peace rushed through me. I knew everything thing was going to be okay because I knew one thing. That the Lord is my Light.
    
       The song continues...
  

"The Lord is my light; tho clouds may arise, Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies where Jesus forever in glory doth reign. Then how can I ever in darkness remain? The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength. I know in HIS might I’ll conquer at length. My weakness in mercy he covers with pow’r, And, walking by faith, I am blest ev’ry hour. The Lord is my light, my all and in all. There is in his sight no darkness at all. He is my Redeemer, my Savior, and King. With Saints and with angels his praises I’ll sing.

The Lord is my light; He is my joy and my song. By day and by night He leads, He leads me along."

Throughout life, time and time again I have learned that I can not do it all on my own. I'm not supposed to, neither am I expected to. If I will allow Jesus Christ to be my light HE WILL BE. But the choice is up to me. And if he is my light then why should I fear?

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Isiah 12:2
