Don't Be Left In The Dark!

Finding one’s way in the darkness can be difficult. Darkness creates an atmosphere for stumbling and falling. Even the smallest thing in the darkness can create a danger. The fact we have night and day means there is darkness with which to deal. Flashlights, candles, and other means of LIGHTING OUR WAY provide assistance through such darkness. However, there is a darkness of a different sort that creates a more dangerous environment in which to try to walk.

Someone has said, “The darkest ignorance is man’s ignorance of God.” [source: “1600 Squibs And Quips”, compiled by E. C. McKenzie] There may be a lot of things in life we don’t know or will ever know. To be ignorant regarding God and His Will, however, creates the thickest darkness in which to live.

Jesus said…
“(22) The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, (23) but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. IF THEN THE LIGHT IN YOU IS DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THE DARKNESS!” ( Matthew 6:22-23 ESV)

Jesus came as LIGHT into a dark world. ( John 1:4-5 & 9) He was the fulfillment of such prophecy. ( Matthew 4:13-16) Unfortunately there were and still are many who prefer the darkness. ( John 3:19) For such, the gloom of even greater darkness awaits them for an eternity. (note 2 Peter 2:17; Jude 13) Is there any wonder our world continues to be plagued by severe challenges?

God has provided the means for LIGHT even when there is darkness around us. As we live in His LIGHT we position ourselves to reflect that LIGHT to help others find The Way. ( John 14:6) May we do our part to pierce the darkness of ignorance as we live in accordance with the BRILLIANT wisdom of God.

Have a great day SHINING TO SHOW THE WAY!
