Do You Feel Like Groping in the Darkness?

[S] John 8:12 --
¹²Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

[O] As simple as this statement looks, why do I feel like I'm mostly in the dark? Spiritually speaking, I know I am with Jesus as I invited Him into my heart to lead and guide my life but every day seems like a struggle to see where I am going. This is not to say I'm discouraged or lost but just feel like things should be better & clearer than this. So, reading this passage actually turned on a light bulb today not because it showed me a silver bullet to resolve what I described earlier but as a great reminder that I need to shadow Jesus at all times in order to be in His light. I begin to meditate on the word "follows" because unraveling that into some practical steps in my life is going to make me closer to the source of light and even though I may never feel like I'm out of the darkness, I would be seeing more clearly as I get closer to the light source.

[A] Instead of just aimlessly following Jesus, I should ask for His light to guide my path because without His light, I'm doomed with disasters in darkness.

[P] Dear God, I don't know why Jesus as my Light jumped out at me today through this passage but I'm so thankful for providing me Your light. I want to hold on to this for the rest of my life such that I won't be groping around the darkness but to see what You desire me to see carrying out Your ministry. In Jesus' name. Amen.
