In the chaotic times in which we live, how can we navigate through its darkness? Where can we find the light of true wisdom? Where can we find rest for our souls? Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”Jesus also tells us He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And by being in Christ, we have been declared righteous. We are on the path of righteousness, and, "...the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day" (Proverbs 4:18). By not leaning on our own understanding, by trusting in the Lord with all of our hearts, we act virtuously and shine as lights in a dark world. But even our virtuous acts are all of grace (Ephesians 2:8-10).
