God is My Light

The theme 'God is My Light' reflects the biblical understanding of God as a source of guidance, hope, and illumination in the lives of believers. This concept is prominently featured in both the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing God's role in dispelling darkness and leading His people.

In ancient Israel, light was often associated with God's presence and favor. The Israelites understood light as a symbol of guidance, especially during their journey through the wilderness, where God led them by a pillar of fire at night (Exodus 13:21).
