“Jesus replied, ‘My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.'”  John 12:35  NLT

We are finding it easier to walk in the light. The sun is now starting to overtake Daylight Savings Time which hid the morning rays for the past couple of weeks. Mind you, we really are not in danger of tripping over curbs or stepping in holes. The community is well lit at night, and only the moonless sky on a night when the power has gone out (which is seldom) could create such a danger. No, my biggest fears are cars exceeding the suggested community speed limit and drivers who do not anticipate the possibility of pedestrians on the road.

Jesus replied to his disciples with this challenge: take advantage of my presence while I am here. He understood in a few short days their lives would be thrown into darkness. We have the advantage of having the Living Presence of God with us at all times. Why is it then we keep stumbling as though we were blind?

Shine Your light all around me today as I journey.
