Where is the light?
While I was walking one night I found myself on a dark road without a lot of light. The weather was nice, it was quiet and I could think, but it was definitely hard to see. Walking up to the next street light it struck me how you can see clearly where the light stops and starts. Whenever I found myself in a dark spot on the road, I knew that I only had to get to the next light and then I would be able to see.
How often are our lives like that? There are times we can see clearly everything around us and know it’s going to happen, but they’re also many times it feels like we’re just on the road alone at night. But if we can see the light in front of us, then it becomes our guide to make it there. Often in life we are just trying to make it to the next bit of light. The light doesn’t illuminate everything we want to see, but it gives us assurance that God is there with us.
The light could be as simple as our Bible reading in the morning, or weekly church attendance, or a word from a friend. The light gives us hope and reminds us that we are going in the right direction, and gives us strength to keep going.
Many people are in need of light while on their dark road of life. Who will you offer light in the darkness to today? Offer a kind word, share a Bible verse, give someone a hug at church. By God’s grace we can be a light in their darkness, pointing them to the one light that never fades: the presence of God in our hearts
