I read a devotion this morning written by one of my favorite writers, Sarah Young. She helped my understanding of what happens when we allow the Lord to transform our darkness into light. Given a choice, I would choose light as opposed to darkness. Most people probably would. But we live in a broken, dark world. Without the light that Jesus brings to us every day, the "dark" is all we would be able to see. We are asked to live in the world but not be of the world. A trick? Sometimes, but really, if we let Jesus be our Light, keep Him and his hope in us, allow Him to guide our steps and surrender to his will, it is his Light that will let us see, obey, trust, and live in the darkness of our world. He has promised us that. We are not promised a perfect world. But we are promised a Light to help us in our world. What else do we need? Allow yourself to be transformed. Allow Light on your path.
Check out Psalm 18:28 "You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
And Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Take solace in these Words. They are God-breathed and written for you. Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored.
