God is our Light in the midst of the darkness all around us.

The Corona Virus pandemic has left many people feeling very lost and hopeless. I believe some people would compare it to groping around in the darkness, not seeing an end to the pandemic, and not knowing what the future holds.

God will light our path

Because of our God’s merciful compassion, the Dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:78 – 79 HCSB

I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them. IS 42:16 NLT

Jesus is the Bright Morning Star – the Dawn from on High. He will guide us through the tunnel we are currently travelling through and bring us safely to the other side.

The Bible also describes Jesus as the Word of God. 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 NIV. 

Understanding your word brings light to the minds of ordinary people. Ps 119:130 CEV.

Therefore, understanding the Word – God – will bring light to our minds.

God is the light that will light up our way and help us make sense of the challenges we currently experience.

Therefore as we spend time learning more about God, via learning more about Him through the Word, we get to understand God, His will and His ways better.

Subsequently, as we begin to understand God, His will and His ways better, we begin to make better sense of the world around us.

God’s words of encouragement like those found in the Bible will strengthen our hearts and guide us as we navigate the darkness around us. 

We will make it to the other side

Because God is our light, we will not fear, neither will we stumble, as we courageously pass through the dark valley of COVID-19.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path – Psalms 119:105 NIV. 

Because God is our light, we will safely make it to the end of this dark tunnel. We will make it to the other side – the victory side. 

We will get to a place and time where we see the end of COVID-19. 

We will safely, and quickly, arrive at the place of healing, restoration and celebration. 

My encouragement to anyone that may be feeling lost and hopeless today is:

“the darkness will soon be over because the morning is almost here. His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning – Psalms 30:5 GNT.
