A Beam of Light

 

I know this picture is dark, but my husband was vacuuming in the early morning.

Now, I am thankful when he vacuums anytime of day,

but I was curious as to why he was doing this in the dark.

He told me that the vacuum beam was all he needed to see where he was going.

 

 

Wow.

 

God's Word is like that.

It is always just what we need to go down life's path,

and without it, we would be trying to find our way in the dark,

stumbling and perhaps falling down.

But His Word gives us the light we need so that we may

stand upright and follow the path He has for us.

 

By Your words

I can see where I am going;

they throw a beam of light on

my dark path.

Psalm 119:105 (The Message)

 

The familiar King James version says it like this:

 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

and a light unto my path.

A Perspective of Light

Everyday events usually seem uneventful,

but when my granddaughter asked to use my camera and went around our house

taking pictures, she snapped this  photo of a lamp in our living room.

I was struck by the perspective as well as the lighting,

almost as if it was done in sepia.

 

I share it here and will show it to her when she comes on our day together,

and we will talk about Matthew 5:14-16.
Sometimes a 4-year-old's perspective is best!

 

 

You are the light of the world.

 

A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

 

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

 

Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

 

In the same way, let your light shine before others,

 

that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

 

Matthew 5:14-16
