11…THE LIGHT

Good morning! In the last couple of days, I’ve had reminders of the benefits of having light. Last night I ran into a piece of furniture as I was trying to get a drink of water during the night. I should have turned the lights on but I didn’t and as a result, I have a whopper of a bruise to prove that I needed the light to guide my way. If the truth be known, I need lots more than just a 60-watt bulb being turned on.

A few days ago I added more light in my house by having an all glass storm door installed on my front door. Now I can open the inside door and let the light in. It has been so amazing to see what that extra light has done for me. Not only has it brought light to the front part of my house, it has brought a smile to my face. I have always heard that when you’re feeling a little down that going outside and getting some sunshine does a world of good for you. I couldn’t agree more. But the Light that does the best for our life is the Light of Jesus Christ. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” The more we dig into scripture, the more of God’s word fills us up. Meditating on God’s word throughout the day keeps our focus on Him which helps us see the happenings in our life through His eyes.

I think John 8:12 is my favorite verse when it comes to God’s light. In this verse Jesus says, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” I’m so thankful I’ve been called out of darkness into His glorious Light. If you haven’t come out of the darkness into His glorious Light, I’d like for you to consider asking Jesus to be your Lord and Savior today so that His Light can overcome the darkness of living without Him. In His Light we will find all we need for living a productive life.

Lord, please help us to see that all we ever will need is found in your glorious Light. Amen.
