The way of the righteous is like morning light that gets brighter and brighter till it is full day.
The path of the wicked is like deep darkness; they don't know where they will stumble.
Proverbs 4:18-19 CEB
Try overlaying this little passage from Proverbs with Jesus life. The original readers and hearers of Proverbs never got that opportunity, but we do.
Jesus light got brighter and brighter, even though his day-to-day circumstances weren't always pleasant. His days included being exhausted, tired, rejected by family, friends, spiritual battles, emotional battles, lots of walking, abuse, coming up against "the system", and being murdered.
Yet his trajectory was getting brighter and brighter, and he now is the light of heaven.
And those who stood against him couldn't see the story that they were in, lost in their quest to hold on to power, wealth, and their own righteousness.
Trajectory
Direction
If we realise we're not on the path of light and life in some area, in some way, we can shift, make change, follow Jesus out of the dark.
Ask him.
Look for him.
And may your light and mine, ours together, get brighter and brighter...
