I remember it like it was yesterday—got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Three steps and BAM! My pinky toe met head on with the bed rail.
You know how that feels. First, a slight pain in your toe. Then (the delayed reaction about three seconds later) you feel another jolt ten times worse than the first one. I guess that’s about how long it takes for the real pain message to travel from my foot to my brain.
This bed has been in the same spot for years. But in the dark I misjudged its position. My failure to turn on the light led to a painful experience. And I’m sure you’ve experienced similar situations.
Truth is, we are living in darkness. The Bible is our LIGHT!
Our failure to turn on the LIGHT leads to devastating consequences. By design, the Bible brings things to light allowing us to see and understand that which would otherwise be hidden.
When we read the Bible our eyes are opened to pot wholes and objects that lie in wait to trip and trap us. The Bible provides guidance to aid in avoiding that which we otherwise might not see.
In essence, opening the pages of your Bible, seeking God's wisdom and direction is like turning on a LIGHT! The only thing left to do next is to follow it.
