The light if the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. Proverbs 13:9
If I am living close to the Lord I find myself living right. Right living shines into darkness and has a voice.
Yet when when I get sloppy my light becomes dim and it is not seen.
Jesus said to His disciples: 'you are the light of the world'. Previously He told them that He was the light of the world.
Therefore I can conclude that as a Christ one I shine His light.
If we look at Christ and the effect He had, then I see what a light can do.
A light shows up darkness, it shows the correct path.
Conversely darkness is dangerous as you will stumble and lose your way.
So if I want to make sure my steps are right then I must stay close to the light.
'Thy word is a lamp unto my feet'. I love the word and go to it for guidance, not the stars or the local clairvoyant. I want light not darkness.
The above scripture tells me what the end is for both righteousness and wickedness, I get to choose. Amen!
