On Saturday I stumbled over
something I did not see. I wasn’t able to see the six inch high parking curb
because I had no light. If I had seen the danger in front of me I would have
taken evasive action, at least I like to think I would.
Walking in the dark is dangerous,
but a small light, aimed on the path, changes the dynamic drastically. Light
shows what is ahead: pot holes, trees or…parking curbs.
How much safer it is to have
illumination.
On the path of life choices, God,
by His Word and by the Holy Spirit, offers me all the light I need, why then do
I close my eyes to His direction and end up stumbling when I don’t need to.
My heavenly Father surely is
shaking His head as He watches me risk injury as I stumble in darkness when He
has provided light.
Angels were on each side of me that
day because I didn’t fall, miraculously, with a little bobbling, I remained
up-right.
I hope my near accident will open my eyes to
be attentive to the obstacles in life that God’s Word is anxious to deliver me
from.
Jesus once again
addressed them: “I am the world’s light. No one who follows me stumbles around
in darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.” John 8:12 Message Bible

Diane, great words to continually remind ourselves. We need to diligently study His Word and spend lots of time in prayer so we'll see and judge correctly. He is our light!
