Walk While You Can

Meditate as you walk.

Jesus replied, "My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light." After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them. John 12:35-36

These shoes were made for walking.

Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Darkness. Distress. Gloominess. Despondency. Depression. Dreariness. Obscurity. Corruption. Hate. These are the things that Jesus is saying…don’t let these things associated with darkness overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Blinded by the darkness. Faltering in their decisions. Unable to see clearly. Or rebelliously refusing to choose to walk in the light?

So opposite of that darkness is light. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-Control. Just to walk in the light is love. God is love. Jesus is the light of the world. Put your trust in the light while there is still time. Walk in the light while you can. While there is still time…while you can. Consider those time limits in your life. Judgment is inevitable. Enjoy life…and enjoy everlasting life—only if you seek the Lord while there is time—while you can.

Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. Psalm 32:6 

Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. Ecclesiastes 7:14

 Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Isaiah 55:6

Prayer ~  Lord, as people look for You—seek You,  I ask as that they would find You as I have. Shine Your light for us all—don’t let darkness impinge on our lives. No walking in darkness…only in Your light.

Verses of Salvation ~ I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty--but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Revelation 21:22-27

Salvation to those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. They will walk in God’s light. There will be no darkness.
