    Questions about Psalm 27:1

    How does Psalm 27:1 meet the Epiphany?

    January 6, 2027 is the traditional date of the Epiphany, and Psalm 27:1 says the Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Epiphany is light shown to the nations. Light here is for walking, not only for feeling safe. In the United States the liturgical Epiphany often falls on the nearby Sunday. The light in the verse is the same Lord the nations are invited to see.

    Does 'whom shall I fear?' belong to a feast of revelation?

    Yes. Light that reveals Christ also exposes fear. The question refuses to give fear the last word once the light has come. Salvation and light travel together in this line.

    How do I walk by Psalm 27:1 today?

    Take the fear into prayer, then walk toward the duty. Ask to see Christ as the light the Epiphany proclaims, and do not wait to feel safe before you move.
