Light away your darkness

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? ( Luke 15:8 )

Light is a mystery that is not easily understood. Even it’s scientific properties are inexhaustible. We see because of light and we are because of light. Jesus said His life is the light of all men (See John 1:4). In the verse of scripture above, an allusion is created of a woman who had lost a coin. Now, in Jesus’ narration of how the woman tried to find that coin, the woman’s focus was not directly on the coin but rather what could reveal the coin; light. So the scripture says she would light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully. The need for a light is paramount in the finding of the coin because without it, she cannot even sweep the house nor search for the coin. Light exposes and light reveals whatever is concealed in darkness. In another place, Saul had lost his father’s donkeys and for three days he had been searching for the donkeys to no avail. But then it dawned on him to get a “light” that would light his path to make his search easy and stress free. And so he and his colleague decided to go and see a Seer [prophet], who in their day and ours are like lights shining in pitch darkness. And then, the Bible says even before they could say anything to the prophet Samuel he told them all they needed to know about the lost donkeys and even about what they didn’t know. We see that whenever we need clarity and direction on any matter, we need the illumination from God’s word by His Spirit. What did you lose? Get into the word of God for light to find it because nothing is lost that cannot be found.

Prayer_Bead: Omnipotent Father, Omniscient King, thank you for the light of your word that exposes every hidden things, even my inheritance in You. Guide me through your word and light up my life’s path.
