The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
Proverbs 4:18
The path of the righteous is marked by light: It starts with faith in the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. His followers are called to shine as well and to not live any more for themselves. They are not like light-blocking clouds. Also, they are not like sight-blurring fog. And much less are they like dusk, which admittedly can shine colorfully but ends in darkness. Through Christ they are the ‘Light of the World’ (Matth 5:14). They walk in light and show others the way to the light.
The path of the righteous is marked by increasing light: Through their faith in Christ, they begin to ask and experience His help in the daily challenges. Thus, the light on their path is getting stronger because their faith is growing and His Word is guiding them (Ps 119:105) by spreading all over their lives: in heart, mind, habits, goals, behavior, in short: in word & deed.
The path of the righteous is marked by increasing light and growing maturity: Their awe of God and faith in His Son as their Lord and Savior raise the desire in them of serving Him wholeheartedly. Doing so, they acknowledge ever more the context of LIGHT & JOY, LIGHT & GRATITUDE, and LIGHT & LOVE for Him. And they are amazed about God’s gracious response as Judges 5:31b says: “Let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might!”
Der Weg des Gottesfürchtigen ist wie der erste Sonnenstrahl am Morgen, der immer heller leuchtet, bis das volle Licht des Tages erstrahlt.
Sprüche 4,18
Der Weg der Gottesfürchtigen ist vom Licht gekennzeichnet: Er beginnt mit dem Glauben an das ‚Licht der Welt‘, Jesus Christus. Als Seine Nachfolger sind sie berufen, ebenfalls zu leuchten und nicht mehr für sich selbst zu leben. Sie sind sie nicht wie Wolken, die das Licht blockieren. Sie sind auch nicht wie der Nebel, der allen die Sicht nimmt. Und schon gar nicht wie die Dämmerung, die zwar manchmal bunt leuchtet, aber in Dunkelheit endet. Durch Christus sind sie das ‚Licht der Welt‘ (Matth 5,14). Sie wandeln im Licht und zeigen anderen den Weg zum Licht.
Der Weg der Gottesfürchtigen ist von zunehmendem Licht gekennzeichnet: Durch ihren Glauben an Christus beginnen sie, Seine Hilfe in den täglichen Herausforderungen zu erbitten und zu erfahren. Das Licht auf ihrem Weg wird stärker, weil ihr Glaube wächst und weil Sein Wort sie leitet (Ps 119,105), indem es sich überall in ihrem Leben ausbreitet: im Herzen, im Verstand, in Gewohnheiten, in Zielen, im Verhalten, kurz: in Wort und Tat.
Der Weg der Gottesfürchtigen ist von zunehmendem Licht und wachsender Reife gekennzeichnet: Ihre Ehrfurcht vor Gott und ihr Glaube an Seinen Sohn als ihren Herrn und Retter weckt ihren Wunsch, Ihm rückhaltlos zu dienen. Dadurch erkennen sie immer mehr den Zusammenhang von LICHT & FREUDE, LICHT & DANKBARKEIT und LICHT & LIEBE zu Ihm. Und sie staunen über Gottes gnädige Reaktion darauf, wie es in Richter 5,31 heißt: Die Ihn lieben, sollen in ihrer Kraft wachsen wie die aufgehende Sonne!
