The Light of Life by David Jeremiah

 

The Light of Life But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18    For most of the day, there seems to be little change in the amount of light. But the magic hour of dawn is when we see a distinct change take place: Darkness is slowly invaded by light. It is slow, but it is also consistent. Once the light begins to appear, the darkness never overtakes it until the sun sets again at dusk.

Solomon used the dawn to illustrate the increasing light in which the righteous walk throughout their life. The “path of the just” becomes clearer and clearer as the light dawns, and for all of one’s life the light “shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” in which darkness is done away with forever in eternity. When we first become a Christian, the light of the knowledge of God is just beginning to break in our hearts. Things may not seem as clear as we want; we still stumble over obstacles in our path. But the longer we walk, the brighter the light shines. Wherever you are on your path with God, if you walk faithfully you will receive more and more light from Him. For I am verily persuaded the Lord hath more truth and light yet to break forth from His holy word.  John Robinson
