For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. – Psalm 36:9 NLT
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- Or is light. Rawa means see, look or behold.
- Jesus referred to Himself as the Light three times in John 12:35-36.
- In John 8:12, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
- Meditate on God being the Light.
- How has He been your Light?
- In what ways do you need Jesus to be your Light right now?
- We live in a very dark world and need Jesus to be our Light. I go to a cabin in the mountains miles from any town. One night when I was there recently, it was pitch black outside. I couldn’t see anything. Then the next night, the almost full moon came up and I could see the lake, trees and mountain clearly. Jesus is like the light of the moon in my life.
- Psalm 36:9 adds “by which we see.” This makes His Light more personal. He’s not just a light that is out there in the world, but also one that affects you and me. How does the Light affect your life?
A Prayer for You
Lord, thank You that You are the Light by which I can see. You make everything clear because of Your Light. I’m so glad I don’t have to walk in darkness anymore. Lord, please be my Light, lighting each step of my way.
