When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." - John 8:12
"The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." -John 1:4-5
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." -Matthew 5:14-16
"Your sun will set no more, and your moon will not become less. For the Lord will be your light forever and ever, and the days of your sorrow will end." -Isaiah 60:20
"For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life." -Psalm 56:13
"The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?" -Psalm 27:1
"You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light." -Psalm 18:28
Think about it:
There are over 100 verses in the Bible that mention how God is our light in this dark world.
If you're near a computer and can search some of them, just type in "scripture about light" in Google's search bar.
You are sure to find hundreds of scriptures referring to His light.
The reason I want to focus on God's light is because since God is light, if we know him, we are also light.
We can be the light that shines in the darkness. When people are in dark despair, we can guide them onto the right path, by shining our light to them so that they too can see how wonderful it is to be saved by God's grace and loved by him unconditionally.
Pray about it: After reading as many passages of scripture you can about God's light, ask him to show you who you can can share His light with. Thank him for sending Christ to us because if he hadn't we would not know what his light is. Whatever else comes to mind while reading God's Word, meditate on those things and praise him for all he has done.
Live it: Let you light shine brightly for all to see. Share God's love through your words, your actions and your life.
*Remember to keep working on that ONE thing that keeps you from having a right relationship with God! Love you all so very much! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
