Sitting in the Dark

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

PSALM 119:105

Making a house a home requires certain finishing touches. Many times, we focus on the big details, and then have no energy or funds for finishing off the rooms we are decorating. This is unfortunate because these details are often necessary not just aesthetic. Recently a pair of newlyweds in our small group realized that their apartment living room had no light source at all. They quickly realized they needed lamps, or they would be sitting in the dark each evening!

God’s Word as a lamp and a light shines in the dark corners of our hearts and minds and reveals what we could not otherwise see. Without the light of His Word to illuminate our hearts, we will remain unchanged and sinful. Just as we need this light to shine in our hearts, we should also in turn work to shine light into the darkness of this world.

In the final stages of finishing a room, be sure to save some funds for a pair of table lamps and even a statement floor lamp. These pieces add so much to your room with specific lighting spots and can add an interesting texture even when they aren’t in use.

Lord, I thank you for the reminder today that we are a royal priesthood, daughters of the King. We are just passing through awaiting our future heavenly home one day soon!
