Safe in the Light

Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours of daylight every day. During the day people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world.” – (John 11:10, NLT)

 

Light reveals the truth, and makes that which we are meant to see – visible. Jesus came to be the light of the world, and in Him, there are no shadows. We are charged to seek Him, and walk in His light, so that we may clearly know which way to go. As we pursue the Lord and His path for us, He makes the way plain. Our charge and our choice is to follow in the light, or to wander off into the shadows. May we be quick to choose to walk in His light, for in Him, there are no shadows at all. Let the Lord lead us as we live in the light of His love.

 

Despite how we feel,I Will Go

There’s one way to go;

To walk in His light,

So truth shall be known.

All safety is found,

When we stay in light;

For the Lord makes known,

The way that is right.

Stay close to the One,

Who is love and grace;

For He will make plain,

The path we’re to take.

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that when we walk in the light of Your truth, we are safe. Thank You that You provide light for us in the spaces of darkness, and that in You, there are no shadows at all. Forgive us for attempting to navigate on our own through the dark, and teach us to trust You more, so that we would be sensitive to Your every leading. Show us how to love others as You so generously love each of us. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we place all of our trust in You and walk in the light of Your truth. Amen.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. – Ephesians 2:4-5
