    LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE


    Pastor’s Blog 10-08-2010
    Dr. John M. Ward, Pastor
    Wayside Christian Church

    It was a stormy night on the high sea. The captain tried to navigate his ship the best he could, but
    it seemed that everything he did only further served to expose his difficult situation. He was
    somewhere close to land, but it also meant that a wrong turn would cause his ship to be torn to
    pieces by sharp rock formations. He was desperate to find his heading, but with the sea turning in
    every direction, it was impossible to determine the right way to go. To make matters worse, a
    thick fog rolled in on his vessel and he could no longer see what was ahead of him. He knew he
    was going somewhere but without a heading, there was little hope of steering the ship safely
    towards land.

    But just when the captain’s situation seemed hopeless, a light appeared in the distance. His
    instinct told him to just follow the light. With great difficulty, he navigated the ship towards the
    small light. As he got closer to the light, he realized that it was a lighthouse. He knew then that
    although the storm was just as difficult as it was before, he at least had a chance to succeed if he
    just followed that light. Years later the captain would look back on that time and wonder just
    how he would have ever made it without that shining light.

    If you’ve been living for any length of time, don’t be surprised to find out that you’re being
    watched by someone who may look up to you. It may be a child looking for a role model or an
    adult looking for guidance. What kind of light will you be? Will you be like a lighthouse when
    someone really needs your advice and guidance? Or will you be a bad example that leads them to
    sharp rock formations. The Bible teaches us in Matthew 5:16 to let our light shine before men,
    that they may see our good deeds and glorify our father in heaven. Remember, your actions are
    your light. Let your light glorify God.
