The sun will no more be your light by day...for the LORD will be your everlasting light.
Isaiah 60:19 (NIV)
We have a large foyer window above our front door and even with a thin layer of dust the sun is absolutely blinding as it shines through that window at sunrise. I try to avoid it as I descend the stairs on cloudless mornings but sometimes that light is unavoidable. I may duck and try to shade my eyes from that blinding light, but it usually doesn't work. That light seems intent on getting in my face! You know, I realized one morning that I'd rather have that light follow me down those stairs than walk down without it. It seems on those sunny days that I need to be reminded that there is a Light that is always with me. His beaming presence fills the space around me and protects me from the darkness that wants to pervade my being. Whenever the day is dark, with earthly clouds or spiritual warfare, I need to call upon that Light to lead me away from the gloom and dreariness that settles upon me. The Light, Jesus Christ, doesn't get in my face, though. He takes His place before me and I want to follow Him. There are many important truths to be found in scripture that apply to the concept of light, but the best and most perfect object lessons we have are those the Father gave us in His Son- the eternal, ever-burning light- Jesus, our Messiah. Let the Light shine on in your life and bathe you with His presence.
For God, who said, " let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
