This psalm is another favorite of many of us and it doesn't need much explanation. But, maybe a review of some of the key words would be good. In “The Lord is my Light," the word "light" is meant to give direction. It is also a common figure for comfort. "Salvation" means God will deliver us. With regards to “T...he Lord is the Strength of my life,” this means that God will uphold us. "Strength" or "stronghold" gives us a picture of security against all violence. This is why, in the midst of dangers that we face, the Psalmist introduces a prayer for divine help and guidance.
PERSONAL APPLICATION: As a child of God, I need not to be afraid, I need not fear, because the Lord is my light, He's my salvation, He is my strength. I will not fear what man might do to me. He that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Because the Lord is watching over me, He keeps me and the Lord keeps you. Praise God! These words are what we can count on to comfort and strengthen us during the trials and challenges we face here on earth on a daily basis!
