The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18 NIV
As we journey through life, each day we have to choose the path we will walk. If you’re looking for a roadmap, God’s word will light the way!
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Proverbs 2:1-11 NIV
When we get to the place where we search for understanding as if it were hidden treasure, we find the answer!
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7 NIV
Jesus, the Light of the World, came 2000 years ago to purify us from all sin and to shine light into our darkness. Because He took on flesh, we now have the chance to walk in the light! He offers us fellowship with Himself first, then fellowship with each other. It just doesn’t get any better than that!
