Pro 4:18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of the dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day
The image employed by Solomon is universal–one we all can relate to. It begins each morning at dawn. We wake up and see the first light of the sun. As the morning progresses, the sun gets brighter and brighter until it is high noon, or “full day.” ( mathewhuntfletcher.com). The lives of those who follow Jesus should be getting brighter and brighter. This means that we should be growing in our faith and becoming more like Jesus every day.
If you are walking in the path of righteousness, today’s light is brighter than yesterday’s and tomorrow will be brighter than today’s. So do not settle down and say, “I’ve arrived,” because that’s a mistake, that’s a deception. The path of righteousness leads us always on until we come into the full light of the noonday sun and to the full and final revelation of God in eternity.
(Derick Prince)
There are right paths and there are wrong paths, but when we come into an intimate relationship with Jesus as our Lord, He will direct us into the right paths. Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the flock; and He leads us in the right ways when we believe Him and surrender to His Lordship.
