Turn on the light

Ever gotten up in the middle of the night and, not wanting to disturb anyone else, didn't turn on the light and caught your little toe on something. Man, that is a pain that is hard to forget, and it takes a while for the little fella to heal. There is a lot of perils in darkness.

I couldn't imagine trying to drive at night without my headlights. Yeah, some city streets have pretty good lighting but if you get out in the suburbs, it can get really dark. Without headlights, it would be hard to navigate the road, if you could even manage to stay on it.

Today's word is John 8:12, ESV, which reads, "Again JESUS spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'"

There are many dangers and hazards in darkness. Spiritually speaking, the ultimate danger is spending eternity in hell. But, there are so many snares and pits and obstacles here on earth that will trap us if we are walking in darkness. satan is out there, just trying to set up the next trap for those walking in darkness.

I am grateful for light. I like to get out in the sunshine. I like to have good lighting when I am working and eating. I certainly don't like tripping over on outside water spigot while playing out side at night. And, the feeling of stubbing your toe on the bedpost is enough to make you want to wake the neighborhood so they can sympathize with you.You don't have to continue trying to find your way in the darkness, turn on the light.

Be Blessed,
