Day 19 Psalm 27:1-6

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

Reflection: Yes—the Lord alone is my light, my salvation, the stronghold of my life, my strength, and my victory. Therefore I say: One thing I have sought, and I will continue to seek—that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold His beauty and to inquire in His temple. May my life be one of joyful worship in His dwelling place, gladly offering sacrifices of praise, willingly following the Lord along the path of the cross, and continually singing to the God who loves me.
