Light in Today's World

by Tony Sergio

Psalms 56:13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. 

In a world of darkness, a glimmer of light is sometimes all I see from under my bowl, but when I lift the bowl by opening my heart and mind to God, the light will shine. This gives me strength to get through each day and turns what was a glimmer of light into a beam. Without the beam I will quickly loose my way. Picture yourself out at sea in the dark of night, vast, dark and deep. A bottomless pit known by no man. You feel helpless, lost and without hope, but off in the distance you see a glimmer of light. With focus and concentration, you adjust your course and direct it to the glimmer of light in the distance. As you stick to the plan and stay on course the glimmer soon becomes a beam. Your panic becomes a calm. Your hope becomes reality.

Prayer: Lord, I thank You for helping me walk in Your light and for never turning off the light even when I have strayed toward darkness. Help me continue to stay on the narrow path and never lose site of You. Through You, may I be a godly example so that others may see Your Light and experience the grace You have so generously given me.
