Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world.
If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

John 8:12, NLT

Shoulders tense, I lean forward as I navigate the narrow, icy road. There are no painted lines to guide me, and even my bright lights only let me see a few feet ahead. Then a car appears out of the fog and turns onto the road ahead of me, and by following its lights, I see the turns in the road. I have a guide giving me direction.

But in your great mercy you did not abandon them to die in the wilderness.
The pillar of cloud still led them forward by day,
and the pillar of fire showed them the way through the night.

Nehemiah 9:19, NLT
