April 9 - Walking in the Light
"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7
Everyone who can walk does so by the aid of the eyes which direct the legs and feet to go where mind desires to go. In other words, when we walk it is usually in the light and with our eyes open. If you walk with your eyes closed you are more than likely going to stumble and/or get hurt. When someone walks in the dark, it is usually done with care and some fear. But daily, millions walk in darkness and do not even know they are headed to destruction.
We who are of the light, understand that it is God who illuminates our lives and makes us holy. The light of the Word of God lights our path so that we do not stumble. Only when we remove the light from our walks do we begin to stumble. But do not fear, if we walk in the light, as Jesus is in the light, then we can have fellowship with one another. The more we walk in the light the more our relationships become healthy and edifying.
When we are in the light, we see clearly that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from the stain of sin. The power of God is manifested in our lives and we become strong in His might. Our eyes are wide open to the unchanging and glorious splendor of His light. Let us not walk in dark places of selfishness and pride, but let us walk in the light, as He is in the light.
