Light from Above

It's time to get back on track... Once, you thought the world was lit up as bright as can be. Once, you had confidence and an understanding that the way forward was as clear as crystal. As time went by, however, you began to run into things you didn't see coming. They blocked your forward momentum and significantly set you back. It turned out the world wasn't what you thought it was. Indeed, it stopped cooperating altogether with your haughty assumptions about it. As a result, your confidence and understanding turned into doubt and confusion. Instead of light, you had darkness. What you need is something better, something more than the light of an overconfident imagination. What you need is what author John Huisman calls "light from above." It's not the literal light of a sunny day, but the spiritual light that can only come from the Word of God. The psalmist describes it as "a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (Psalm 119:105). It's the only thing that can set you straight and get you moving again. It's the only thing that can tell you the truth about the world you live in. In this book, Light from Above: 365 Daily Devotionals, Huisman has selected 365 passages from the Word of God and coupled them with insightful and timely devotionals that can give you what you need. Each day you will see more of the path that lies before you. Each day you will see more of the way forward. The darkness of your former life will begin to fade and the light of your new life will begin to shine. (Isaiah 60:1-3).
