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 – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
