John 8:12, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Have you ever been in a room where someone has turned off the switch and you are in total darkness? You flounder around, possible bumping into things, until you find the switch. There is great relief when light floods the room and you can see again.
The light of God’s love and direction are always available to those who are following Jesus. We do not need to flounder around in the dark wondering which path to take.
This verse is a great promise from Jesus Himself. Darkness is oppressive – it limits our movement. It makes us hesitant to move forward and can cause us to become stagnant. Jesus says to step out because His light is always shining and is there to guide and lead us. We can move forward and accomplish the things that God wants us to, because Jesus will light the way for us.
Every day you need to be praising Jesus for the light of His presence. You truly are surrounded by the light of His love. Remember that the switch is always on – when you are following Him.
