Light Out

Around the building where I attend Bible Study and Worship there are a lot of lights after it gets dark. Last evening, one of those that illuminates a parking area and sidewalk to the building was out. It wasn’t that there was no light. Other lights partially illuminated the walk, and fortunately everyone could see well enough to get by.

It reminded me that we often attempt to negotiate a part of our walk through life with the Light out. God’s Word is clear that the Truth “is a lamp for my feet, and a light on my path.” I am not sure I understand why so many of us are content to walk in the Light that radiates from others, never taking the time and making the effort to implant the Light (read: Truth) in our life through a diligent effort to inculcate Scripture in our minds and hearts.

When the Preacher found out about the light being out, he promised to see to it that it was repaired or replaced. I hope he continues to focus on keeping the Light coming through our Bible Study programs as well. No sense in stumbling around, right?
