Light

I can remember once, as a little girl, staring at the effect of the bright rays of sunshine streaming through our living room window. The light was so intense that I was able to see small specks of dust swirling around the room. "Where did that dust suddently come from?" I wondered. The truth is: Dust is with us everywhere, all the time! We just don't often see it without intense light.

In our family Bible time, we are working together on memorizing Psalm 119:130, "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."

The entrance of God's Word (the Bible) brings light into our lives. It shines like a high-beam flashlight onto things we may have overlooked without God's Word to point them out.

Do you have a habit of reading the Scriptures each day? Do you read deliberately through the whole Bible instead of just repeating favorite passages througout the year?

May I challenge you to make sure your "flashlight" is in good working order? The light of God's Word will amplify truths about God, about man, about sin, about our daily decisions, and ultimately about how to live in such a way as to hear "Well done!" when you meet your Savior face to face someday.
