Lightning

When I went outside this morning for my morning walk the ground was wet, but it wasn’t raining at the time. Of greater concern was the flashes of lightning. I will walk in the rain, but not if lightning is nearby. I decided to walk anyway this morning as the lightning did not seem to be close. I was able to walk 6 miles without a drop of rain or nearby lightning.

One benefit that lightning does provide is that it brings a strong light, not only in the sky, but everywhere. Light has the ability to completely remove darkness. Light and darkness cannot coexist in the same place.

The Bible says that God is light and we are called to walk in His light. Walking in the dark is dangerous. You can trip on the smallest obstacle and fall. God doesn’t want us to fall in life, so He offers to light our way. All we have to do is follow His light. In Isaiah 45:7 God says, “I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.” Walking in the Light is good for our overall well-being. Follow the Light!
