Light

“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” ~ John 1:5

How crazy is this verse!! God does so many miraculous things in and around our lives and when we stop and try to comprehend what and how He does the things He does we just can’t seem to wrap our mind around it!

This weekend I had the opportunity to attend an amazing prayer night in the NTS building. This building is the tallest building in the city and I was right there at the top! Being able to look out over the city and see people down below walking, driving, and living out their normal day lives was a big eye opener. It got me to thinking, how often do we really stop and think about what is going on around us and how we can use those moments to share with others God’s great plan for us all. As the sun was setting, the street lights and car headlights began to come on one by one. The drivers and people on the streets began to rely on those lights to guide them where they needed to be. These lights that guided them all to their final destination of the evening is just like the light God is spiritually providing us, we just have to be willing and open to follow where it leads us.

As people are traveling in new and unfamiliar places they rely on a map to get them to where they need to be. God’s word is exactly what we should rely on to get us where we need to be throughout everyday! “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” ~ Psalm 119:105 Being out of the word and not in constant contact with God will really mess up your life and the plans He has for you. His word is what will guide you and provide you with the light of life.

Standing at the highest point of the city and looking out at all of God’s creation really puts things in perspective. It makes you realize how small you are and how equal everyone is! God loves everyone and everything so much. He has blessed everyone with that special unique light to guide your life. And what is so amazing is that not even one is the same!

I challenge you to dig into God’s word this week and pray to him for his light for you to shine so bright that you will be able to be on the path he has prepared just for you. He has great plans for you, better than anything you could imagine or wish for!
