Light Up My World - CD Swanson
Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
Did you ever get up in the middle of the night and walk to the bathroom in darkness? Did you notice how tough it is, the darker it is, for one to navigate with ease? Yet, when you flip the light switch, it’s easier to accomplish the task at hand. So too is life when you walk in the “Light.” For those in the “dark” spiritually, life will be exceedingly hard to maneuver.
Our Father’s Word is a guide for His children, and when we engage in an active obedient life, in terms of loving Him, along with prayers, and daily scripture reading…we are inherently walking in the light.
A friend of mine, just today said, “I don’t know how you do it, reading the Bible every day, I wish I could do that…” My response, “If I don’t pray, and talk with God, or read even just a passage or one chapter of the Bible daily, I feel incomplete. In fact, I feel depleted and unsettled.”
Reading the Word, is the opposite of deplete. Instead, I’m replete with peace and filled with joy. I’m able to “go through things,” no matter the intensity, nor platitude of any given situation.
Armed with His truth, His light, and daily guidance…I’m able to “keep sane” in a world that has seemingly gone “insane.”
I suggest, if you don’t already…make time for Him each day. Put down your cell phone. Turn off your gadgets. Take the time to sincerely meet with Him, every day of your life. In time…you will see, there is no time better spent than with our Almighty Father, King of kings, and LORD of lords. Amen!
“Father, thank You for listening to me, caring about me, and for sharing Your Word with me, I am nothing without You, and there is no defeat in my day, because with You, I’m victorious, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
