Illumination

Many years ago, Mr. Bill purchased a rechargeable 250,000 candlepower, 6 volt hand held  spotlight.  After 14-16 hours of charging, the light proved so powerful we could shine it on one of the kids and see what he had for lunch!  If you mistakenly looked into the light, you became convinced you’d see dots the rest of your natural life.  Quickly, the favorite night-time activity was to stand on the front porch and shine the light across the road and count how many deer were feeding in the field.  Over the years, this place has been home to many other strange and unusual activities!

 

God's Word illuminates!  It lights the pathway for us,  precedes our steps, making the way of the Lord clear.  Let's face it!  Sometimes it's just  hard to see the way clear -- distinguish right from wrong, good from bad, gray from black, white from gray.  Proverbs 6:23a says, "For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light."  Oh my, the moans and groans when Mr. Bill forgot to plug in the light to recharge!  No light!  That describes the lack of divine illumination (direction) when we fail to read God’s Word – we fail to see His Way and falter in it.  There’s been many "rechargeable spotlights since then but, thankfully, God's Word doesn't wear out.  It never expires, never dims, never quits.  The Divine Lamp never needs charging because It is The Source of all light.  Remember to plug-in to The Light and walk in His illumination.
