“The God of Light”
by Dona Hake
“No one lights a lamp and then puts it in a cellar nor under a basket [hiding the light], but [instead it is put] on the lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. The eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive, focused on God], your whole body also is full of light [benefiting from God’s precepts]. But when it is bad [spiritually blind], your body also is full of darkness [devoid of God’s word]. Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. So if your whole body is illuminated, with no dark part, it will be entirely bright [with light], as when the lamp gives you light with its bright rays.”
Luke 11:33-36 -Amplified version
Luke 11:33-36 -Amplified version
Oh praise the Living God that we can be so honored that we carry this light within us for it is to show a world that is blinded by darkness that there is true light…that there really is a hope and purpose for one to live. That light also helps us as we purpose to walk the narrow path.
Oh that we would stay focused on our God that our body be full of His illuminating light for it is then that our life will bring Him glory for such a time as this!
