Is. 65, 66; Ps 62; John 3;

John 3:19-21

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

This is a truth that you can judge all men by, but more than anyone else it is the measure we should judge ourselves by. If I walk in the light I do not care who sees what I do. If I walk in the light then my life is a testimony of the living God, who loves me no matter where I walk. It is a testimony to the God who wants me to walk in the light because He is in the light. He wants me to walk with Him. It has always been my observation about light that the further I get away from the light the bigger the shadows in front of me get. If I get far enough away they can grow so large I can hide in them. They become so large that they are much bigger than I am. They even appear to be bigger and more important than the light. David says in Ps 62:5-8 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. I want the kind of rest David is talking about. I know where it is “it is in the light”.

May God richly bless you and keep you and your family locked under the center of the light where there are no shadows that we may hide in. That all may see “plainly that what he (we) has done has been done through God."
