The Bible speaks a lot about being in the Light. Christ is the Light of the world. We are to be children of that light. John 12 tells us: "Walk by the light you have so darkness doesn't destroy you. As you have the light, believe in the light. then the light will be within you, and shining through your lives. You'll be children of light."
The part that interested me today is: "Walk by the light you have so darkness doesn't destroy you."
Jesus said these things to the crowd that he knew by instinct would soon be against him. So, what light they had would be ignored as they would soon be caught up in the passions of the dark moment yet to come.
It is a warning to me. Do not think little of the Light I have been given. Not everyone in this world is to receive the same amount of Light. How blessed I am to be given the Light I have! And I must learn to live in this Light and keep it shining and bright. It's not to be covered up. It's not to be hidden. And it is definitely not to be ignored! It must never be considered to be "not enough!" What I have been given is always "just enough" to do whatever job I have been given. If the job needs more Light than what I have been given, God will provide. He will give me either more Light or a helper who has what is needed. My job is to trust and use what is given. And to not step out of the Light.
Lord, May your Word continue to supply my Light that I might follow you more closely. Thank you, God.
