Day 3 Walking in Light

God is light. In Him there is no darkness at all.... 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 sin.1 John 1:5-7

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." I really love the use of light in the Bible. God says that when we walk with Jesus, we walk in the light.

Light helps us see where we're going. Without the light of God, we can't possibly know how to live our lives. Living in darkness is incompatible with living in the light.... If we want to walk with God, we've got to stay away from the darkness and walk in the light.

These verses in I John say that there are two important results of walking in the light. The first result is fellowship – right relationships with our family and friends. Second, when we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin and restores our right relationship with God.

There are no more important priorities in life than those. God says that the way to ensure that our lives are in proper perspective is to walk in the light.

Help Sarah to walk in the light when darkness surrounds her this year. Show her places in her life where there is darkness and help her to give them over to you. Thank you that your light lets us see where we are going--especially when it's just one step at a time. Amen.
