The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
But the way of the wicked is is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble. Proverbs 4:17,18 NIV
\The Bible tells us that when we become Christians, we are translated from the kingdom or the power or the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1:13. In Verse 12 Paul says that we have been called to be "partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light".

Wow! Isn't that exciting! Once we stumbled in the dark of sin and rebellion doing our own thing, living to please ourselves, BUT now we have a new purpose in living. We are people who the light of the glorious gospel of salvation has shone upon, so that we may, in turn shine forth the light we now walk in, as we walk in obedience to the Word of God for our lives.
Once we were like those whom Isaiah describes in Is. 59:9,10 Therefore justice is far from us, 
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.

Thank God for the written Word of God, the Bible, which the psalmist says is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path. Ps 119:105 

 Each and every one of us who have put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord have a wonderful destiny to fulfil as we seek to walk in the light as He is in the light. Eph 5:8

I personally am being challenged by the Lord to make sure there is no hidden darkness in my life. I do not want to live my life in compromise. As the Holy Spirit shines his searchlight over our hearts and lives, let us allow Him to expose anything not pleasing or honoring to Him, and let us cast off once and for all anything which will hinder our walk with Him. I want to be in that company of believers in the Church of Jesus Christ who responds to the prophetic plea from Isaiah the prophet to:
 Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. (60:1)
