Have you ever thought about what it would be like to drive at night without reflectors on the road? It would be pretty hard on roads without street lights. The cool thing about reflectors is that they don't require any electricity to help keep us on the road. They just reflect the light that our headlights put out. Jesus said, "Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house; Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
We give out spiritual light. How do we know if we are staying on the road though? We have spiritual reflectors that help guide us and keep us on the path just like cars have roadside reflectors. Some of these may include family, friends, or church leaders. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. We need to reflect His light and the Christlike light of others. How grateful I am to have had such reflectors in my life!

Light
Light: an illuminating agent or source, as the sun or a beacon.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12) The Master Teacher tells us that we must follow His example if we want to live with Him again, but sometimes we think we can follow after the desires of our own hearts and achieve the same results. Isaiah, however, teaches us that if we choose to walk in the light of our fire it will only lead to sorrow. (See Isaiah 50:10-11) I echo the words of David in Psalm 27, "The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear?" I know that if we make the Lord the light that guides our lives that we cannot go astray. May we all strive to do so.
