Daily D – Psalm 27:1

by David Bowman | Jun 26, 2025 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble? (NLT)

“Light, space, zest—
that’s God!
So, with him on my side I’m fearless,
afraid of no one and nothing.”

An earworm is a song that gets stuck in your head and plays on repeat, sometimes to the point of driving you crazy. A recent news article suggested that the solution to this issue is to listen to the song all the way through to the end. Our minds don’t like leaving things undone. They don’t like loose ends.

Tie the laces of your mind by finishing the tune.

Ernest Hemingway would close out writing sessions by writing half a sentence. He would then go to sleep and trust his mind to bring closure to the sentence with a story he could in no other way conceive.

There are good earworms and earworms that drive us crazy. For example, the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song. (Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?) How about Michael Jackson singing Beat It? Or, Taylor Swift singing Shake It Off? Uptown Funk, anyone? Never Gonna Give You Up? Who Let the Dogs Out? Happy? Yellow Submarine?

We sang a song in church on Sunday that has been stuck in my head on the most delightfully repetitive replay. The song is The Lord Is My Light and Salvation. Give it a listen when you get a chance ([https://bit.ly/3TG10un](https://bit.ly/3TG10un)). You immediately notice the connection to today’s text found above.

This is a good song to get stuck on replay. It’s a good song to remind us of eternal and timely truths. God is worth waiting for. God is trustworthy. God makes us fearless when we lean into God confidence.

That’s it. That’s the word for the day.

—

I will wait on the Lord and trust in him for all things at all times.

—

Our Father, I am confident of this: I will see your goodness in my life, in my world, in my moments and days, now and always. I’m looking for you. I’m expecting you. I’m ready for you and whatever you want for me today. You are my light and salvation. You are the Everlasting God. I set my hopes on you. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Deuteronomy 30:19, 20 “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 29:29

Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
