Miner’s Lamp Attached

by Bruce Wadd

 

When was the last time you were in a cave?  Close your eyes for a moment and revisit the quietness, the peacefulness and the intense darkness - so thick that you can’t see your hand in front of your face.

 

On guided tours through caves there are usually overhead lights that are turned off and on during your visit.  The shadows cast create fascinating shapes in front of your eyes, sometimes making it difficult to see every step of the pathway.

 

The alternative is to use a miner’s helmet lamp attached to your head.  The shadows are still there, but your immediate pathway is clearly highlighted.

 

Reading the Bible daily is like putting a lamp on your helmet, showing you the dangers and safety of the next step.

 

 

“I am the Light of the world. 

So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” 

John 8:12

 

 

TODAY, have you got your miners lamp attached?
