“Come,
let us walk in the light of the Lord.” Isaiah 2:5
This is the simple call that goes
out to all God’s people wherever they might be. This call has a threefold image
in Scripture. In the wilderness, the Israelites were covered by a pillar of
fire by night. Any night journeys were led by the light of God. In the psalms
we are told that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
To know where to go and how to safely get there we need God’s written Word,
In the New Testament Jesus said that
He is the Light of the world. We will get nowhere unless we are in Him. All
other ways are darkness and end in death and ruin. Mankind is in the darkness
of sin and we need a light, a true and guiding light, to find our way in this
life and to find the way to the life to come. God has not left us without
light, but we must answer His call to come and walk in it.
Dear Father, Thank You for the true
light that guides our way. Amen.
