-Psalm 89:15
Psalm 89:15 speaks of walking in the light of God because we have entered into a relationship with Him. As we walk in the light of the Lord we move forward toward the vision God has given us. Those walking with Christ are not walking in the darkness of sin, but rather we are walking in the light of Christ. In fact, the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world.” Are we aware of what an awesome responsibility that is? We are to carry the light of Jesus into a world that for too long has been shrouded by the darkness of sin and evil. So great is the light of the Lord in our lives that the light outshines us and we are consumed in that light. Have you ever had the experience of walking up to someone at night and the person has a bright light shining behind him or her? Perhaps the person is standing in front of a car with the headlights right behind. You can’t see the person, but all you see is an outline – so great is the light. The light outshines the individual. That’s what Jesus meant when He said that we are the light of the world. We have become totally enveloped in His light to the point that His light far outshines us.
As we walk forward in life, walking in the light of the Lord, we do so with a direct and divine purpose; we move towards the vision God has imparted to us. Someone will say, “Well, God has never given me a vision.” My response is, “What?! What are you talking about! Of course He has!” For starters, the Lord has told us to go ye therefore and teach all nations (Matthew 29:19). We are to be His witnesses (Acts 1:8). But grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ (II Peter 3:18). As soon as we begin to move towards that vision which for us all, then we begin to see a personal vision which God has in store for each and every one of us. Was there a vision the Lord placed on your heart, maybe a long time ago? I declare to you that the vision that once was can be again. Don’t say it’s too late; you are able by the power of God to accomplish whatever vision God has given you: missions, ministry, and outreach, growing in grace, faith, and patience, going on a mission trip, or witnessing to those around you. Maybe your vision from God is to write a book or preach the gospel – go home and start writing the book and preparing the sermon today!
