Our Light To Life!
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."
Proverbs 4: 18
For most of the day, there seems to be little change in
the amount of light. But the magic hour of dawn is when
we see a distinct change take place: Darkness is
slowly
invaded by light. It is slow, but it is also
consistent.
Once light begins to appear, darkness never
overtakes it until the sun sets again at dusk.
Solomon used the dawn to illustrate the increasing light in which
the righteous walk throughout their life. The “path of the just” becomes
clearer and clearer as the light dawns, and for all of one’s life the light
“shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” in which darkness is done
away with forever in eternity.
When we first become a Christian, the light of the knowledge
of God is just beginning to break in our hearts. Things may not
seem as clear as we want; we still stumble
over obstacles in
our path. But the longer we walk, the brighter the light shines.
Wherever you are on your path with God,
if you walk faithfully you will receive more
and more light from Him.
"For I am verily persuaded the Lord hath
more truth and light yet to break forth
from His holy word."
John Robinson
