verse 9: “The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked goes out.”
Ever had a light go out on you? Especially if it’s your flashlight during a power outage…one moment you’re secure in the fact that you can see even in the darkness, and the next….you freeze, trying to remember where everything was as you slowly try to move forward, bumping into stuff…and hoping that the fuzzy object you feel with your bare feet IS the pet cat! 🙂
We take light for granted. The light of the righteous is one that burns brightly (merrily as the Holman concordance makes reference to it). But the lamp of the wicked will eventually go out…leaving them in darkness that is far from secure.
So, Christian….are you letting your light burn brightly today?
Have a blessed day!
