Psalm 43:3-4 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
David prays to the Lord for His light and His truth. He trusts God to lead him with light and truth. He needs it for he is surrounded by spiritual enemies. He trusts the light and truth of God to overcome his enemies and bring him into the safe and comforting Presence of God where he will praise the Lord for deliverance and salvation and life. Because in God’s Presence he knows he will find exceeding joy. There he will praise God his God.
Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, penetrating our darkened hearts with forgiveness and true life. Jesus is the Truth of God exposing our sin, guilt, and death and revealing God’s forgiveness, life, and love. We read and hear the Law and Gospel of God’s Word weekly at His “holy hill.” And we receive by faith His Word of grace daily in our quiet time with God. We repent of sin, believe, and thank God. And our whole day is filled with joy and praise in the heart and on the lips. Ask for truth that provides the right path and for light to provide the vision to follow it.
