Choosing the Light
I know quite well the difference between darkness and light but do not always have the courage to name them by their true names. There is a strong temptation to deal with the darkness as if it were light, and with the light as if it were darkness. Knowing Jesus, reading his words, and praying create increasing clarity about evil and good, sin and grace, Satan and God. This clarity calls me to choose the way to the light fearlessly and straightforwardly. The transparent life is a life in which heart, mind, and gut are united in choosing the light.
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
- Joshua 24: 15
Reflection Question: In what ways has scripture helped you to know the difference between darkness and light?
