HILLSONG DEVOTIONAL, JULY 26
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
The One Who Saves
Psalm 27
This song is a call to worship, to turn from old ways and surrender to God; A God who gives us hope, peace, and rest, who is desperate to know us and to reconcile us back to Himself. In fact He loves us so persistently that the scriptures say "His love endures forever."
Psalm 27 starts by saying "The Lord is my light, and the One who saves me."
I began writing this song after receiving a bad report about the health of one of my family members. I take great comfort in knowing that we are not left alone in our own capacity or that we need to strive to know or encounter God in those moments, but rather He is vigorously pursuing us, making clear the way to Him. As we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and we will find HOPE, PEACE, and REST.
