At this time of year, the days are short and I yearn for more light. We open the blinds and pull back the curtains to let what light there is come in. But my morning hikes are shrowded in darkness and even my evening walks are shortened by the coming nightfall. The short days can even affect our attitudes and outlook. On top of that, we become more aware of hold that darkness has over the world. Anger, pride, lust, and selfishness seem to be winning the minds and hearts of people everywhere. We need Light.
Psalm 112:4 says, “Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.” Jesus called Himself the Light that has come into the world. Let His light shine bright in you and through you to others. When you ask, He will not fail to give you His light because He is gracious, merciful, and righteous. His Light overcomes the world and the darkness within.
