When I graduated from college I shared an apartment with a
friend of mine. We were two typical guys that didn’t pay a lot of attention to
what was going on around us. One day someone came in to our place and ask why
it was so dark. At first, we weren’t sure what they were talking about. It
didn’t seem dark to us. Upon further inspection, we discovered half of all our
light bulbs were burned out! We hadn’t noticed because they didn’t go out at
once, but one at a time. Our eyes had adjusted over time, so we couldn’t tell
the difference.
Sin is that way sometime. It can creep up on us, and before we
know it we have pushed God out of our lives. That is why it is so important to
keep the light of God shining on our lives. Jesus is called the Light of the
World, and he does bring light in to darkness. We are also told, Your Word
is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. – Psalm119:105. Stay in the
Word! It brings clarity to your world, and guides you in truth.
Wise up – keep the lights
on!
