Turning on The Light

There's a stairway in my home that was a primary reason we purchased our townhome nearly 30 years ago.   The stairs descend from the second floor into the middle of our downstairs living space with walking/viewing room through and under the stairs.  Not only are the stairs  practical as they provide access to the upstairs but also a tool to stay healthy as I travel this route many miles in a week's time.
Stairs can be a hazard in the dark however.  Several years ago I arose in the dark one morning and rounded my bedroom doorway and quickly placed my feet on the first step....oh my, a screech as my left foot hit soft fur with Peaches, the cat, nearly flying off the step and me?  My feet left solid ground and I fell....ka-bump, ka-bump..down 12 stairs, all the way to the floor.  No broken bones just bruises to that part of our bodies that they can not splint, or cast.
It was a wake-up call.  As a matter of fact given through the lips of my worried husband -
                "Don't wander around in the dark - Turn on the light!!"
God says the same in His Word-
                   "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and Word was God.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." John 1:1, 4
         Have you allowed Jesus to illumine your life with His light? 
                     "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." John 8:12
                     "You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light." Ephesians 5:8
Thank you Lord for life lessons that remind us of your Word!
