WALK IN THE LIGHT  9/8/09

Scripture – John 11:8-9 “The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?” Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.”

Observations – Jesus’ words have a double meaning. There is the natural meaning with the sun giving light and then the spiritual with the Son giving the light.

Applications – We will not stumble if the light is in us and we walk in that light – that is being led by His Spirit and His words. No matter where we are it is dangerous if we live our life in darkness – without the presence of the Light. Whether it is literally day or night is not what is so important. What is important is walking in God’s Light.

Prayer – Lord, I really need to walk in the light of your words. Your word is a lamp to my fight and a light to my path. Help me to hear you and see you! This world is a kingdom of darkness. There is a great need for You to reveal the stumbling blocks and dangers that are everywhere.
