You don't have to stub a toe

Ever got up in the middle of the night and stubbed your toe? Or, ran into something with your shin? Yeah, if memory serves, I have damaged my pinkie toe on my left foot three times by catching it on something I didn't see.

Usually, we get up and leave everything dark because we don't want to disturb others and we don't want to mess up our sleep anymore than we have to, and bright light will do that. However, if we aren't careful, if we don't turn on some light, we may stub a pinkie toe or bash a shin, neither of which is overly appealing. And, usually, if one of these two occur, everyone in the house is awakened anyway.

Today's word is 2 Samual 22:29, NIV, which reads, "You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light."

Just as many of us wander around at night in the darkness, there are many more wandering around in this world in darkness so thick they can't see all the dangers in their path. Yet, they continue to walk, not knowing that they can run into something far worse, far more sinister, far more evil, far more painful, far more dangerous than a bed frame or coffee table. As a matter of fact, if you are outside and walking in darkness, you may fall off a cliff. So many are walking perilously close to the edge.

Just as we can turn on the light in our houses, we too can turn on the True Light in our lives. If we will allow GOD to take control and lead our lives, He will shine a light on the path that we should go. He will illuminate every danger, every peril, every trouble, every obstacle that lies ahead and lead us safely to our destination. Turn on some lights. You don't have to stub a toe.

Be Blessed,
