For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. (Psalm 36:9)
Daily reading: Lamentations 3:31-66
This verse beautifully points us to Jesus. He is the source—the fountain—of life itself. Just as water is essential for physical survival, Jesus is essential for spiritual life. He said, Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst (John 4:14). In Him, we find renewal, hope and the eternal life that springs up from His unending love. The second half of the verse speaks of light—God’s light helping us to truly see. Jesus declared, I am the light of the world (John 8:12). In His light, we begin to understand who God is, who we are, and how to walk in truth. The apostle links these two thoughts together wonderfully in John 1:4—In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Salvation to our God,
Thanksgiving, power and might,
For Him who cleansed us by His blood,
Our light and life.
(Mrs. Peters)
