"LIT UP" FOR GOD'S PATH!

Light for me brings assurance. I like being able to physically see where I am gong.....and even where I have been. Maybe the need for security is why I leave the porch light on so often. Flashlights are in every room.

What's the best way to have true light in our lives? Pick up your Bible. Know God's Word. Truth from Scripture is our lamp!

May His Word be a light for me and all who read this today as we seek the path that He has for each of us!

Such info will probably light up our faces! Think "All Lit up!"

LIGHT!

Today we head to The Cove with neighbors John and Vicki for a Light FM dinner! May the LIGHT of God's Presence fill my mind today as we prepare to go.

Allow God's word to lead to the light needed.

Looking lightheartedly at the worries that flood my mind....I can walk through the day with lighter steps. The LORD will be my light. (Micah 7:8, emphasis mine)

Do not lose heart. See troubles as light and momentary.

Walk in the light and be a light for others!

ROAD TO NOWHERE!

The road to nowhere is a road no one needs to be on in his/her spiritual life. How do i know!? The Bible tells me so! It is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one as well! A faith path.  

It's a journey with a heavenly destination yet often includes struggles, and hardships along the way which we must embrace with the joyous ones. God's word gives us the wisdom to navigate all of life.

His word gives the "light" needed.

It might be a bit rocky at times....but Christ is the solid rock on which stand.

There is a "road to nowhere" in Bryson City not far from our home.  Somehow I only looked in as I didn't like the darkness even though we had a flashlight. The floor was muddy thus too slippery for a gal with a cane!

One must be cautious to choose the right roads in life!

As Jesus Calling reminds us on this National Day of Prayer, we are on the path of God's choosing. Every moment walking with Him leaves no time for worry as His Spirit directs our steps to walk along the path of peace. (Luke 1:79)

GOD'S LIGHT without the GLARE

10/23/13 Prepping for my upcoming “Heart To Heart” Bible study lesson, I have become so aware of the need to “sit in the light.”  The light of the Presence of the Lord. This requires the disciplines of solitude, silence, listening and meditation. I’m convicted that I need to SLOW down my life in order to do this. Distractions, even good ones, need to be tempered.

Full Hunter's Moon

Last week (10/18/13) this difficulty was evident in a somewhat ordinary real life situation. There was a glorious moon out and I wanted a full view of this incredible FULL moon. But…..the glare of the streetlight obscured my view.

A glaring, harsh light distracted me from seeing God’s light of the night. It reminded me of the distractions I was facing each day as I tried to seek ”light” from His word. Sometimes the busyness and distractions of the world seem blinding, inescapable even, especially when I’m trying to seek the One who is the “Light.”

A change of direction was needed. I had to take action. In my study time I had to disconnect from the strong overwhelming pull of the blinking light of all my electronic devices and even my old land-line. Just like I had done the night of the Hunter’s Moon.*

That night I had to go to the back yard where it was not only dark but also quiet in order to see and fully appreciate the splendor of that moon. No Glare. Distractions removed. View accomplished. Wowed by God’s handiwork!

* The next morning as I went out to get the newspaper, the moon, though not as brilliant, was still very much in view because the streetlights had faded.
God's light without the glare.
