God's Marvelous Light!
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light."
1 Peter 2: 9
Ken Block, a professional rally driver, recently fitted
his off-road truck with 300,000 lumens of blinding light
to make sure he can see everything on the darkest night
and in the darkest places.
How much is 300,000 lumens of light?
The average car headlight pumps out 700 lumens
on low, and 1,200 with the high beams turned on.
A light in a football stadium uses 70,000 or more lumens.
So if Ken Block heads down your street, you might want
to don your sunglasses or pull your curtains.
Nothing, however, compares to the light Jesus sheds on our
pathway as we proceed through life. The Lord Jesus radiates
light, as we see on Mount of Transfiguration in the Gospels
and in the descriptions of Him in the book of Revelation.
Our eyes aren’t yet fitted for that brightness,
but it filters through His grace onto our paths
to brighten and illumine each step we take.
Walk in the radiance of
His presence today.
