The Sending Out of Light and Truth
Psalm 43:3
O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.


I. THE FEELINGS HERE EXPRESSED.

1. A deep sense of darkness.

2. Belief in God as the source of spiritual life.

3. Earnest desire after Him. His soul wanted light-God's light; he knew that it must be sent out; also he desired God's truth.

II. THE PURPOSE OF HIS DESIRE — "Let them lead me;" he knew his own helplessness.

III. THE PLACE TO WHICH HE DESIRED TO BE LED. — God's tabernacles, God's holy hill. He would be led to holiness and to the know. ledge of God in Christ which the tabernacle set forth. This alone would satisfy his soul.

(J. C. Philpot)
