“29For you are my lamp, O LORD, and my God lightens my darkness.” – 2 Samuel 22:29 (ESV)
Such a simple verse that ring so true for me. As I move through my days and nights, I have the opportunity to work in the light of day and rest in the darkness of night. I get the chance to recharge over the nighttime and prepare for the day ahead of doing the work of the LORD.
There are times, when I will be tasked with working for God in the darkness before me. I will be presented adversity that seems to strong for me to see where the good lies in what I am set to accomplish. I will have darkness all around me in the form of persecution and despair. It will feel as though there is nowhere to go and I am set on a path of failure. But just when all of that darkness is surrounding me, all I need is to look to God and my path will be lightened.
I have to remember that even in the darkest of rooms, a simple candle burning will light things up. The LORD is my candle. I need to make sure that He is lit in my life at all times. When I do, I will not be walking or working in darkness, but in the light provided by God.
When I am presented with the darkest of times, I will remember that God is with me always. As He is with me, I will never need to walk in darkness as He is the light unto my path.
“105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105 (ESV)
At some point you will be walking in the dark, what do you have to light your way? Are you aware of the light that is provided by God? Will you allow the LORD to lighten the darkness for you?
