Walking in the light
The way of the righteous is like morning light that gets brighter and brighter till it is full day. ~ Proverbs 4:18 (CEB)
Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.” ~ John 8:12 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
God's way of light gives us bright lives.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for a well-lit pathway. I too often stray from that walkway just to see what darkness is like. Continue to remind me of the many benefits of walking in your light and the dangers of stumbling along in the darkness. I am going to grow in light. Amen.
