Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
Our kids went to Calvin Crest in June. The scripture above was printed on their camp shirts. It got me to thinking “What kind of light am I?” Am I…
…a candle—soft, steady and inviting but easily blown out at times?
…a flashlight or lantern—trusted in emergencies and helpful down dark paths?
…a flood light—provides immense light, but so bright it hurts the eyes?
…a street light—very reliable and a guardian of our sleepy streets?
…a desk lamp—purposeful, task-oriented and flexible for either long or short periods of time?
At different times, we are all of the above. But most of the time I try to be like a Motel 6 and “will leave a light on for you.” Whatever the type, may your light shine for others to see.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank you for giving us your son, the Light of the World. Help us to shine your love on others as we travel down the path of life.
