"For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light."
Psalms 36:9
The phrasing here is interesting "in thy light shall we see light." Thinking about it physically it seems sort of weird. Darkness is what allows you to detect light more clearly... isn't it? If you have light, it might be harder to see more light, because they just blend together and maybe get brighter. If we think of it symbolically though, then I think it becomes clear.
If we have God's light in our lives... his influence, his guidance and clarity, then it becomes easier to see the light around us... the light of goodness in the people around us, the light of hope shining to guide our way out of the darkness of sin or despair. God's fountain of life offers life to any who drink from it. :)
Today, let's invite God's light into our lives, and let it banish our darkness.
