In the light

The world is a dark place. When walking in darkness, how can we not stumble? Only God brings the light. With God to provide the means of light to see, our paths remain clear to navigate, particularly as we draw near to Him.

Even as we walk with the Lord, every day trials can get us off track. In our imperfect fleshly state, our minds often race to quell the storms, and our reaction to life’s situations can be less than edifying.

In an effort to deal with what comes before us, the one sure thing that will steer us in the right direction and bring peace is leaning on the everlasting arms. When confronted with tough times, God’s word tells us to be slow to speak and slow to anger because “man’s anger cannot accomplish the righteousness of God” ~ James 1:20.

When we put on Christ, we are renewed by and through the Holy Spirit. We have freedom now to be different from the world. Confronted with trouble? Pause. Take a deep breath and yield to the spirit inside with humility and prayer.

As the new year is upon us, let’s take our first steps of the year being fully clothed in Christ!
