(43:1) Light and Truth - The Psalm writer asked God to send his light and truth to guide him to the holy hill, the location of the temple, where he would meet God. God's truth provides the right path to follow (see 1 John 2:27), and God's light provides the clear vision to follow it (see 1John 1:5). If you feel surrounded by darkness and uncertainty, follow God's light and truth. He will guide you. 

(43:3) Holly Hill - The "holy hill" is Mount Zion in Jerusalem, the city that David named as Israel's capital. The temple was built there as the place for the people to meet God in worship and prayer.

Each day, we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter, making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today, we continue in the Book of Psalms with Chapter 43. In our text today, we see a theme of how our hope in a time of discouragement - only comes from God. The God who made it all - owns it all - controls it all,  and can deliver you from your troubles. In making an application, we see that many place their hope in many things: their money, their abilities, their health, their strength, their influence, their power, the list goes on and on, but these things come and go. We can only truly trust the Lord because he owns it all. How about you? What are you placing your trust in? Let us learn from our Psalm and text today to remember that we are to put our hope in the Lord, for He controls it all.
