Turn on The Light
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
One morning, I was reading a book, and the passage quoted the scripture above. I immediately heard the Holy Spirit say, “Turn on the light.” If we are not reading and meditating on the Word daily, we are walking in darkness. Can you imagine having the righteous nature of God, yet walking in darkness because you don’t “turn on the light”? If you continue in darkness, you will eventually stop seeing the light. The darkness will become light to you.
I remember walking into a dark room and having to wait for my eyes to adjust before I could move and see where I was going. Did you catch that? I had to adjust my eyes from the light to see in the darkness. If we keep adjusting our eyes to darkness, eventually it will begin to look like light, and we will miss everything God has for us. The darkness will lead us to death.
The Word of God guides us moment by moment. Unfortunately, because we wake up every morning with the sun shining, we think we are already in the light and can see clearly. What a deception! Satan is the ruler of this world. Scripture says, “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4). It goes on to teach us that “the whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19).
Scripture reminds us that we are in this world but not of it (John 17:16). As long as we are on this earth, we cannot escape Satan or his evil devices. He is “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). However, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
Our victory comes only by walking in the light. Every day, we must wake up, read the Word, and meditate on it. When we do, we will have direction for our day!
Key points:
No Word, no light.
Jesus is the light!
Keep your eyes adjusted to the light!
