"Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."
Psalm 112:4 (NKJV)
We have all been in situations where we did not know what to do. Whether it was a question about the future, our family, our job, or if it was a question about how to best handle a problem we were dealing with, we have all had that feeling of not knowing what to do. Just like everyone else, I have been there too, and it is not a nice place to be. When it seems like we are in the dark, when we do not really know what to do, one thing we can be sure of is that we are not alone. God knows about our situation, and He wants to help us, and He will.
Our life as a follower of Jesus should be just that, following Jesus. But what does it mean to follow Jesus and allow God to guide us in our life? Does following Jesus mean that we always know the way that we are going, or are we walking by faith and following God's direction? If we are following Jesus, if we are doing the will of God and being led by the Holy Spirit, does that mean we are doing our best to figure things out for ourselves, or are we looking to God, the wisdom of His Word, and the leading of the Holy Spirit to give us the direction and help we need in our life?
Psalm 112:4 talks about light rising up in the darkness for the righteous, but what does that mean? If we are in some natural darkness, we need some light to see where we can and should go. If we seem to be in some spiritual darkness, because we do not know where to go, or how to do what we need to do, we can trust God to give us the light, wisdom, and direction that we need. We have to trust God and get light and understanding from His Word, and by the Holy Spirit, to do what we need to do, and not just try to figure something out on our own. Even when it seems dark, God will give us light.
