Psalms 27:1
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
David's rhetorical questions reveal a truth: when the Lord is your light and salvation, fear has no grounds to stand on.
Light dispels darkness, and salvation secures our destiny. When God Himself becomes our stronghold, who could possibly threaten us? This is not naive optimism but confident faith in the character and power of our God. He illuminates our path, saves us from our enemies, and becomes the fortress where we find refuge.
