Living In The Light

Have you ever found yourself in the dark? Whether it’s being outside when the sun goes down, walking through the house at night or finding yourself in an elevator when the power goes out, being in the dark is just not a secure feeling.

Not knowing exactly where my feet are headed, what they may be stepping on or what lies ahead can cause me to be quite anxious and through the years I have discovered over and over again just how wonderful it is to walk and live in the light.

As human beings, we need light. It is essential to our bodies for mental and physical wellness. It energizes us and allows us to function at full capacity and without it we become depressed and lethargic. And so natural light is a life giving matter…. but natural light is not all the light we need. We also need spiritual light. As a matter of fact, spiritual illumination is the most essential light of all.

And so, I am again amazed how our heavenly Father created the natural realm to exactly mirror the spirit realm. The light that comes from His word leads and directs us along every kind of path and allows us to be sure footed in all things. Psalms 119:105 says: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

It is His light that allows us to see, not just where we are walking, but where we are going. His light shines bright to dispel all fear and anxiety. It allows us to see His goodness and gives us the freedom to trust Him in all things.

Psalm 27:13 says: I would have despaired had I not believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Our God wants us to see His goodness. He wants us to believe every Word and promise He has spoken to us and to believe that He is always for us and not against us and that He will never forsake us in our weaknesses.

Our God is greater than all things. He IS life. Full of light and glory, He desires to flood us with His abundant supernatural energizing life. Let us commit ourselves to reading, listening and believing His word and allow His goodness to overtake us.
