Yesterday we were able to get away and visit dear friends! It’s such a joy to spend time with them and their family. We were able to stay the night and will have more time with them this morning.
It’s always interesting when we stay some place we haven’t been before. Don’t want to get up in the night and run into something or be lost in the dark.
You walked carefully across the room, stubbing your toes more than once, wishing there were a night light that could give you some assistance in your journey. I have. As a child, Dave was a sleep walker and would wake up lost so needless to say we have night lights in our home. Very helpful indeed.
When we travel now we keep a night light packed in our bag just to prevent that very thing.
But what about those times when we need a “night light” as we walk through life?
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.” Psalm 119:105-106 KJV
It would be silly to ask someone for direction when we don’t know the way and then ignore what they say. The same holds true for mental and spiritual direction in our lives.
“Lord, your rules are wonderful. That is why I follow them. 130 As people understand your word, it brings light to their lives. Your word makes even simple people wise.” Psalm 119:128-130 ERV
When we have God’s word to light the way and give us direction, we don’t need to be second guessing or ignoring the instruction we receive. When we walk in the light, we save ourselves from unnecessary bumps and bruises and our way is smoother.
“God is strong and can keep you from falling. He can bring you before his glory without any wrong in you and give you great joy. ” Jude 1:24 ERV
Walk well today; walk in the light.
