When I was a little girl, I was afraid of the dark. My Momma always had to leave the light on in the hallway outside my room so that I wouldn't be scared. I found safety in that light.
Isn't it odd that as we get older, we find "safety" in the darkness? We think we can hide our sins even though the Bible tells us, "You may be sure that your sin will find you out." Numbers 32:23
If you've ever been inside a bar or nightclub, you may have noticed...it's dark in there. I wonder if people would act differently if the lights were really bright....like spotlight bright.... I think they would.
You see, God is our spotlight. In fact, the Bible tells us in 1 John 1:5, that "God is light." We can't hide our sins from Him.
Living "in the light" means living for Him. It means living our lives in such a way that we don't feel the need to hide anything. An authentic life. A life of integrity. That's what I want.
One of my favorite D.C. Talk songs, "In the Light", says it so well. These lyrics have become my prayer today:
I wanna be in the light
As You are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
As You are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
