Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world.
John 8:12, NLT
If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
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.
Nehemiah 9:19, NLT
The pillar of cloud still led them forward by day,
and the pillar of fire showed them the way through the night.
