Walk In The Light

August 29, 2025

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 (ESV)

Each of us have played the game follow the leader. If we were not the leader, we would follow the person who was the leader anywhere they went. It was when they were going somewhere we were not willing to go that we would stop following them. When we were the leader, we were the only one who knew where we would lead the people behind us, and we wanted them to follow us through every place we took them. Life is not a game and that is why it is important for us to follow Christ wherever He leads us and never stop following no matter where He takes us. The Scripture reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the world, and we who follow Him will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life. I encourage you today to remember that Jesus is the Light of the world. No matter how dark the night gets, Jesus is a light for you. No matter how dark your day gets, Jesus is the Light of the world for you. There may be times where you feel like everything around you is dark. Your day is dark, your nights are darker, but always remember you have a Light that is always bright, and will illuminate your path when you follow Him. Allow Jesus to be that Light for you that will never go out but will always show you the way. When you are following Jesus and it seems like you do not know which way to go, just keep walking in the Light and you will see the place He has just for you. When you truly follow Jesus, you will never walk in darkness or alone again, for His light will always shine bright in your life, and He will always be with you. The world may be dark and gloomy, but I am grateful I have the Light of the world in my life, and no matter how dark things become I know I will never walk in darkness again. Since Jesus is the Light of my life and is illuminating my paths, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, you are the Light of my life. No matter where I go I know that you will illuminate a way for me. Thank you Lord for never allowing me to walk in darkness again. Thank you for never allowing me to walk alone again. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
