You Lighten My Path

It was early this morning just at daybreak when Rupert and I set out on our walk. I began to think of all kinds of dangers that might be out there- animals that lurk in the darkness. Then began to think of the promises of
God's protection- "He is my refuge, What time I am afraid I will trust in Him". At this early hour as I looked in the distance the gate at the end of the field seemed dark; however, the most amazing thing happened. The closer we came to the gate the light of the morning became brighter so when we arrived at the gate it was not dark at all but light. I am so glad , Lord Jesus, that you are that light that came to live in me, that you shine in my heart. You are that light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns , You make darkness light before me,Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. You will enlighten my darkness. I can go forward in this dark world , walking in the light of your Word assured that each step that I take you will lighten my path
