Love's Light - 1 John 1:5



    In order for me to get to the 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 sometimes contains unexpected additions. And you never know what they might have moved around!  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.

  1. Good Post. "In order for me to get to ...(where I want to go)" ...Choices are made, in order for me to get to where I want to go, where I need to go. If you go "this direction", these are the the circumstances. If you go "that direction", there are different circumstances. Circuit 'Riter, you choose light,spiritual light ... so that you can take part in a spiritual walk, with God,and sometimes with others coming along, depending on their choices. Light is good thing. Keep writing.
