Thy Light and Thy Truth

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Thy Light and Thy Truth. O send out thy light and thy truth let them lead me, let them bring me unto thy holy hill and to thy tabernacles. Psalm forty three. This old troubled world desperately needs light to find a way out of its darkness and truth to rightly plan its future.

but they must be God's light and God's truth, not the seductive lights and humanistic philosophies of man's fabrications. God has indeed already sent out His light and His truth. But men loved darkness rather than light. Although they professed to be ever learning, They yet are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, and in fact turn away their ears from the truth. That was true in the psalmist's days, and perhaps is even more so in our day, although we surely have far more light and access to truth today than the psalmist ever had.

We now have, for example, God's complete written word. Another psalmist had promised, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. And Solomon wrote, For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. God's truth surely is what we need, in fact all we need, for our faith as we look to our future. This also is revealed in the light of His Word, both His inspired written Word and His incarnate living Word.

The Lord Jesus not only claimed, I am the truth. But he also prayed for us, saying, Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. And for all who believe His revealed truth, God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. second Corinthians four six.
