Word
of God
But
he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Surely
thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will lighten my darkness.
Brethren:
The
light of God’s mercy and grace will shine through all darkness. The
light of the Gospel will allow all mankind to see the truth of His
word. It will open the eyes of the blind so that they may see all
things clearly. This writer has oft times said there is no darkness
so bleak, so impenetrable, that the light of His word, and that of
the Gospel of Christ cannot illuminate. In fact even more so than
that, but utterly push the darkness backwards so that it will no long
be seen by anyone. So this evening friends, consider this in your
hearts, as you meditate upon His words before retiring for the night;
His light shines brightly for all men in the belief that It will draw
you nearer to Him.

“‘Thou
[art] my lamp, O Lord"’; which may either design outward
prosperity, and the flourishing condition of David's kingdom; or
internal spiritual light, and an increase of it, by giving fresh
supplies of the oil of grace, to cause the lamp to burn more clearly;
or rather the prosperous estate of Christ's kingdom; and may be the
same with the lamp ordained for the Messiah, (Read Psalms 132:17 )
[He shall] ‘"cause light to shine in my darkness"'. That
is, bring me out of darkness into light; either out of adversity to
prosperity, or from walking in darkness to the enjoyment of the light
of his countenance; and is true of Christ, not only of the prosperity
of his kingdom and interest, but of him personally; who though, when
on the cross, was in darkness of soul, being forsaken by his God;
yet, when raised from the dead, he was received up to heaven, and set
down at the right hand of God, and was made full of joy with his
countenance, ( Read Acts 2:28 ).” - John Gill 17th
Century Theologian
