The Journey:
"The path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18 ).
The moment that each of us received Jesus as our Saviour, we stepped onto the narrow path of life. It's a delightful path with many joys and blessings. There are also many valleys, dangers, and obstacles along the path as well. But never mind, Jesus Himself is our guide, and in His Presence is fullness of joy. At times it may seem our path is growing darker as we face the unknown or even dark trials, but the path we are following is not one of external circumstances-that path is planned by God, and he wants us to trust Him for it. What we are really pursuing is drawing nearer to Christ. That is the path we are on. This is the path that leads straight into the heart of God, and since He is light, our path is indeed as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
