Dad's Ramblings -- Stumbling In Darkness

"But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble."
 
                                                 Proverbs 4:18-19
 
Godly people shine like lights, but the darkness does not comprehend it (see John 1:5, referring to Jesus). Ungodly people have no clue about sin and its effects, so they don't know how to solve the problems generated by sin. They try various tactics to counteract sin, but the human measures don't work. So they just keep stumbling around. In fact, they think godly people are weird, and that sin is natural. But the proof is in the puddin'. Godly answers to sin, such as Teen Challenge, have such a higher success rate than secular programs. And that's why the people in Washington, D.C., stumble around. They walk in darkness, not understanding God's ways. Righteous people see sin for what it is and have the answers to solve the problems. We get to shine as the sun in the darkness.
 
Today's Thought: People stumble in darkness because they reject light.
 
Have a bright day. Love you.
