As Jesus tells us in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world.” promising to lead Believers as the pillar/cloud of light went ahead of the Israelites in the wilderness…providing light & guidance. In the Word, light & truth go hand in hand…as does darkness, lies and deception follow each other. But ultimately, it’s our decision which path we follow. Though in contrast, there will also be difficult times when the decision isn’t ours to make, for the Lord will not lift the darkness from us. However, we must still trust in Him…even if He appears like an unkind friend, an unnatural father, or an unjust judge. The Lord still remains the light shining in the darkness.
