We reflect on  Psalm 27 in the context  of the word of God
spoken elsewhere in the Psalms ( Ps 43 and Ps 46) and in Isaiah 60.
As Christians we look at Psalm 27 in the light of God's word in
the First Letter of Peter and the First Letter of John.
The People of God are supported by the Light of The Lord.
Although challenged by the darkness of evil,  In practice
God himself is our light and our guide into all truth;
And as we share the Light of the LORD,
  "light overcomes darkness "   ( Philippians 2:15 )
