What is the point of wandering in the dark?
You cannot see where you are going.
You do not know what lies ahead.
A loose rock.
A steep drop.
In the mountains you can cross serious terrain in complete darkness…
With nothing more than a small headlamp.
You only see a few feet ahead.
Yet, one step at a time…
You make it home.

Lyrics:
The Light
E, D, C, C
O Lord, let it be Your plan to guide me
Guide me by Your hand
O Lord, let me hear Your Word, and teach me
To help me understand
The world that we live in is fallen
No one can hear the Spirit calling
And by the generation
We’re further from salvation
But when the Son was left forsaken
Eternal life was for the taking
And that’s revelation
The gift for all creation
The darkness won’t consume the light
The Light, the Light
Like rays of sun that end the night
That end the night, for us to know what’s right
So will you hear the Spirit calling
Instead of hearing someone else
Like most these days
Lost to noise amongst themselves
Don’t sell your soul it isn’t worth it
And is it worth to gain the world
And lose your soul
Get so high for you to fall?
O Lord, make our ways be straight
And strengthen, us for coming days
And let us rejoice in Your saving grace
The darkness won’t consume the light
The Light, the Light
Like rays of sun that end the night
That end the night, for us to know what’s right
Like Word in flesh became alive
And glorify the One they crucified
For what is Yours to be revived
Revived, revived
O Lord, let them hear Your voice
And guide them
I believe our faith is much the same.
We often want to see the whole journey.
The next ten years.
The next ten decisions.
The next ten answers.
Yet the Lord gives us His light for the next step.
How much we have complicated what was always meant to be simple.
No wonder the Lord tells us to become like little children.
Children do not need to see the whole journey.
They simply trust the One holding their hand.
Yet, we spend our lives looking ten steps ahead…
While failing to notice the one directly in front.
What is the point…
Without the light of Jesus?
