Jesus is the light of the world and the lamp of
heaven. It is no wonder we read that the Bible is a lamp and a light. Jesus is
the Word of God come to life in the flesh (see John 1)
Your
Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105
The
unfolding of Your Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130
The Word
of God gives life and hope. It brings Words of healing and conviction. When we
read it. It reads us! The Word might give us just enough light to take one
small step during a difficult season. Other times, it shines like the noon-day
sun, giving immediate joy and warmth to our whole being.
I love
the second verse above. The unfolding of the Bible opens up new understanding. God
wants every part of us, spirit, soul and body under His direction. He can handle
every part of our past. As He unfolds His wisdom, little by little, everything
can be brought into His glorious light. If there are simmering coals of hurt,
anger, unforgivenss or past shame still being covered by activity, addiction or
despair, give it all to the light of the world.
Do not
fear. He is a mighty God. Our pasts will be used in a future filled with the
light of Jesus and the lamp set before our feet. Light exposes darkness. The
unfolding of our lives under the power of God’s Word leads us onto a stable and
firm and open path filled with light.
Dear Father,
Your Word fills us with joy, with hope, with new
beginnings. Continue to open our understanding as You light the path before us
and remove the darkness behind us. We take one more step into a future with You
today. Take our hand and walk with us into a brighter future.
In Jesus name
Amen
