The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.
Proverbs 4:18-19
As humans, we naturally associate darkness with fear and evil. We associate light with goodness and comfort. The Bible is no different, since God associates light with the righteous and darkness with the wicked.
Consider this:
Darkness hates light,
because light always overcomes darkness.
Where there is light, there will never be complete darkness.
As I ponder these truths, I think about how Jesus is the Light of the world. I think about how this world is full of darkness, because it is inhabited by the powers of darkness. Christ's light has already overcome the darkness of this world. Therefore with His power in me, I need not be afraid. This is a truth that I not only want to remember for myself, but that I want to embed into the hearts of my children as well.
The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.
