“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” John 5:24 NKJV

Psalm 43:3 NKJV  Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle…

The light IS the Lord our God.  We are children of the Light…we walk in the light.  When we walk and stay close to God…our paths are lined with a light , lined with hope and truths.  There is no darkness.  The light of God pushes it away.  Darkness cannot hide…it RUNS.  The Lord is our lamp, our radiate warmth of light and love. Jesus Christ’ name is power…in His name we can accomplish much.  Without Him, we cannot accomplish anything. We won’t feel the light, and ostensibly we won’t reflect His light. 

When we are filled with Jesus Christ’ in the Holy Spirit…we set out to share the good news and to offer a Christ-mind of thinking, acting and believing. It is HIS word…and when we digest His daily bread, we can be a light to others as well.

 

One of several ways the Lord draws us to Himself is by His word and leading us to worship with Him and His people. His word constantly encourages and reinforces us…it knits us and engrafts us to Him.  His word. His ways. His beliefs.  Not the doctrine of man…who makes void the Word of God.   We stand in the light of love.

 

Sometimes, it is only natural that we will “down” or “sad.”  It will happen.  And, it isn’t a reflection that we don’t believe…it just happens because we are in flesh bodies.  So, God expects us to have “off days.”  However it is how we handle the sad/down times when it happens that separates us from the non-believers.  As true children of God…we will do things with trust and faith in the Lord. 

 

We will RUN to Him and His word…and His wisdom.  We will look to Him for our answers, and we can cry on His shoulder.  He is our Father, and He loves us.  I find comfort with Him.  When I feel anxious, or unsettled.  I truly RUN to His word and Him for help.  I know He will provide that which I am searching for.

 

As Jesus said, “seek and you will find, ask and it shall be answered, knock and it will be opened.”  I look to the Light for my answers, for my comfort for my peace. He is truly my everything.  And, He wants us to lean on Him for all things.  In good times and in bad times.

 

It’s easy to praise the Lord in good times. It is when the hard times come knocking that at times will test our faith.  But, He is to be praised for all things, and all times. 

 Proverbs 3:5 NKJV  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.”

 He is on a higher realm. It is more than our mortal minds can grasp.  His light and wisdom are constant…and His light is always shining. As is His love.  It is non-stop and fully unconditional. 

 

It’s okay to have sad days, down days, and happy days.  God made us with emotions, and we need to run to Him for all things.  But, remember His light is in US.  We are to share that Light with the world, not hide it. 

 

 As Jesus said:

 

Go our and Shine Your Light…and Glorify your God as you do so.  Someone right now may need to be taken out of the darkness.

22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!   Matthew 6:22-23 NKJV

 

 

John 8:12 NKJV Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
