Light!

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” ~ Psalm 119:105

It is as simple and as common as walking into a room and flipping a switch. Darkness flees as light floods the room. But light is far from ordinary. It is an extraordinary creation that allows us to see. Light causes plants to grow, and the body to produce needed resources for healthy living. Light is fundamental to growth and health.

In Psalm 119:105, we learn that the words of God are light. They illuminate where we walk and how we live. The Word of God is essential for growth and health. God has given us His words in the Bible, the Word of God. If you and I are going to walk the path of discipleship, we need to be saturated with the light of God’s Word.

Genesis 1:3 shows us that God spoke and light was created. It was the beginning of all creation. The Bible teaches us that God leads His people into light. The burning bush, the pillar of fire in the wilderness, the glory of God in the face of Moses. All of these are pictures of light. They point us to John 1:4-5, where we learn that Jesus is the light for all men. He shines to bring us into relationship with God.

Studying the Bible is about being bathed in light. As we begin a journey through the Bible, let’s make a deliberate decision to grow to look like Jesus. Welcome to GROW Through the Bible.
