Lamplight Glow

1 Min Read

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105, Holy Bible, New Life Version)

Imagine holding a lamp in the darkness, or perhaps walking beside someone carrying a lantern. When the lantern is held high, it sends a glow downward in a circle. If the person moves the light to the opposite side from where you are walking, you will only receive segments of light filtered by that person’s movements.

Reading the Bible is similar. When you read study for guidance, God’s light shines from above and you’re bathed in the glow. If you read it to fulfill a duty of daily Scripture reading, you’ll still receive some light, but the circle will not shine beyond your feet. Apostle Paul must have been aware of this when he wrote to Timothy.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15, New King James)

Are you walking in someone else’s shadow, or is God’s light shining on your pathway?

Prayer: Lord, let the light of Your Word shine on me. Amen.

A Beacon of Light

1 Min Read

So Moses lifted his hand to the sky, and a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days. During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived. (Exodus 10:22-23, Holy Bible, New Living Translation)

This event happened in Egypt during a time of enslavement of the Jewish community. God had chosen Moses to lead these weary Israelites back home, but the Pharaoh was reluctant to release them. So God showed His universal power.

Imagine the Egyptians engulfed in total darkness, unable to move about, but seeing the light where the Israelites lived. That’s how God blesses His children. When everything looks bleak, He surrounds us with His light. No matter how dismal life is, God casts a glow on His children.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for shining Your light around me. Amen.

Searching for Light

1 Min Read

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1, Holy Bible, King James Version)

Have you ever fumbled for a flashlight during an electrical power failure? Until that battery operated light illuminates a pathway, you’re in darkness. Sometimes life is a blackout with no ray of hope, no visible escape. Look toward the Lord. He is your light and your salvation.

Prayer: Lord, when I stumble in darkness and fear clutches me in its grips, lead me to safety by Your light. Amen.

Lighten up

1 Min Read

“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Genesis 1:4-5

Imagine a world without light. Everything else that God made during creation week would go unnoticed and unappreciated. Life would be dull, dark, depressing and boring. With light comes clarity, joy, hope and alertness.

The same is true in regard to our spiritual existence. The Father of lights shines into our soul and the darkness is eradicated. We begin to see clearly the things that previously confused us. Our daily lives are infused with joy because we experience unconditional love. We are full of hope for the future, here on earth and in heaven eternally.

And the spiritual illumination we have received causes us to feel truly alive, excited and full of passion for the Kingdom of God. He has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for illuminating my life. Let your light shine through me to those around me, and may they be drawn to You.

Shine

Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way,…

Blackout

1 Min Read

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?(Psalm 27:1, Holy Bible King James)

    Have you ever been lost with no street lights? Ever fumbled for a flashlight during an electrical power failure? Until that smidgeon of light helps you focus on your path, you’re in a blackout. Sometimes life is like that. A blackout with nothing visible. Until you look toward the Lord. He is your light and your salvation.
    Prayer: Lord, when I stumble in darkness, shine Your light on me and give me strength. Amen.
