“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬. In these verses, 14-19, the writer is comparing the paths of the wicked and just. The path of the wicked is dark. It is filled with sin, violence, confusion and stumbling. But for those justified by faith in Christ, their path is bright and getting brighter! They’re minds are being enlightened by the truths of God’s Word. Their heart is lightened by personal union with Jesus, Who is the Light. Their path, while sometimes passing through dark valleys, is always pointing towards the perfect light of God’s holy presence. So the key for us is, to stay on the path! To keep going forward. To press on day by day with this confidence, that it is better farther on! One of the biggest challenges believers face is, that they get weary and quit making progress. They settle down somewhere along the path rather than continuing on it. But this promise is conditional. It means we must never cease making spiritual progress, we must press on. So toady, it you are passing through some dark place, remember, as you press on with Jesus, your path will grow ever brighter.
