Turn the Light On! 

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night to a crying child?  To grab a drink of water? Use the restroom?  Once you get up out of bed you may step on that Lego car your children made the day before.  Or maybe you are at a hotel or a friend or family members house and you lose your bearings and run into a wall or door or maybe stub your toe?
I think this has happened to almost all of us on more than one occasion.  You know the remedy for avoiding this?  Turn the light on!

Do you ever feel like this when it comes to your spiritual walk?  Many times we go through life stumbling around, our focus off, hurting ourselves.  Then we become frustrated, hurt, and ultimately lose our desire to want to get up anymore.  So what’s the remedy to avoid this spiritual slump in life?  Turn the light on!

Psalm 119:105 says, “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my journey.”
God never intended for us to walk around in the dark.  He has given us His Word.  His very Word is light! 
1.  It’s a light to our feet- it shows us that God has called us, and that we do have a purpose.  So you can get up out of bed because God has called YOU!
2.  It’s a light for our journey- He’s also given us that light to continue walking along the path that He has for us. 

The amazing thing about light is, when it’s there, darkness cannot be around.  When we put God’s Word in our eyes, ears, and mouths darkness cannot be around.  When the Word of God is first place in our lives we walk around with purpose, and the path is made clear.

So today, turn the light on!  Why walk around in life in the dark? God has given us the biggest, brightest light - His WORD!  In His Word are all the answers we need in life.
