“Send your light and your truth; let them lead me….” (v. 3)

It’s a simple formula:

If you follow anything else…

…if you follow popular opinion or shifting orthodoxies or cultural groupthink…

…if you follow anything else, you will end up anywhere else.

Yet my desire is to be led to Him, into the peace and the hope and the security that is only found in the sure presence of God. I want to be where He is, where worship happens. I want His solid ground.

And nothing else can carry me there. It is only His light, the Light we’ve met in Christ, that illuminates the path. It is only His truth, which we’ve been given in His Word, that keeps me on it.

I want those things to lead me, because following anything else will carry me anywhere else.
