In
order for me to get to my office in the church I have to go through some interior
passageways. Through one door it is a simple walk down a few stairs, a ninety-degree
turn and a few steps. However, that entrance requires a longer walk outside and
a few more steps. If I want to get in quickly and have a light at least
for the lock, I take a different door.
I have an almost
fanatical interest in turning the lights off when I am not using an area. My preferred
passage doesn't have the luxury of switches on each end of the room. And, rather
than run the electricity when I wouldn't be there, I will walk through that area
in the dark. Problem is, it is a youth fellowship room. And you never know what
they might have moved around! And I have tried, to no avail, to shut the
lights off and run to the other end of the room before it got dark!
As physical light is important to a safe walk in a room, Spiritual
light is necessary for a spiritual walk. 1
John 1:5 says, "that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at
all." Satan brings spiritual darkness and hidden obstacles, which cause us to
stumble.
You can make use of God's light by reading the
Scriptures and walking dependent on God's Holy Spirit. A blessing results in that
we can better fellowship with one another (v.
7).
Are you seeking the light today or just walking
in darkness? Why not take advantage of God's light.
