Keep Stepping Towards the Light

What does it mean to follow Christ?
It means to walk in the light.

What is the limit of the light?
Only the limit WE place on it

We live in a world of darkness. Everything we have ever known before Christ is dark. He is the light. How much do we limit what God can do by the amount of faith we have in Him? If only we could tap into the faith....tap into the flood gate of faith inside. Forget looking around us for understanding of God and His power, and simply take Him on faith. What if our first reaction was to bow our heads and raise our hands? What if our first thought was how He was glorified? What if we ran everything through a filter of pure light? If only we could discipline ourselves to JUDGE EVERYTHING by HIM, and not allow ourselves to let the world dictate to us what He is capable of. How do we get to the place of letting go of our own selfish motivations and limitations we place on the Holy One. How long will we chalk up an experience, a word, a direction, up to coincidence, and realize underneath is Him....the TRUE WORD, which was in the beginning, before everything else.

How do we change out perspective to view everything by Him, HE is the TRUTH, therefore HE is the standard of measurement. Through HIM we gain wisdom, and truth....everything that doesn't line up with HIM is false.

If we would just seek the light....SEEK IT LIKE WE SEEK MONEY, POWER, RESPECT, and countless other worthless endeavors. SEEK THE LIGHT, it is always shining...the question is are we really looking for it? Are we really wanting to find it? Or are we happy placing it in the small compartment in the back of our minds, and trying to forget about it for the sake of the world's standards?

When will we see that HE is the gauge, HE is the perspective, HE is the TRUTH, everything else is false.


Of course, we wouldn't be expected to measure the distance we have traveled in our cars in kilometers, if we had never learned what a kilometer was. If we never had an understanding of the measurement system, there would be no way to understand how to gauge anything by that standard. So how is the problem solved? Learn the standard...truly understand it. Then the ability to gauge by it can occur.

Seek truth...in the the Word. Seek to learn it and understand it. From that a gauge begins to develop from which truth can be measured with understanding.
