Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
Right now, so many seniors are walking across stages with hearts full of dreams and hands full of diplomas and degrees. And some of those plans will work out, but some won’t. That doesn’t mean God’s plans have failed. Sometimes it simply means changing our perspective from believing we know best to trusting that God knows best.

1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Without the sun, the moon would be in utter darkness and in the same way, without God, we would be in utter darkness. God doesn’t need light because He is light. And just like the moon reflects the light of the sun, our job is to reflect His light into the world around us.

Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
If there’s a light on a hill, everyone in that city will see it. And not just see it, but they will use that light to find the pathway home. And that’s part of what Jesus calls His followers to be. Not the source of the light ourselves, but people who reflect His light and point them toward the One who will ultimately lead them home.

John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
What Jesus shares in this passage is one of the things that sets believers apart. We don’t walk through life alone, trying to figure out truth by ourselves. We have the Light of the World who helps to reveal the dark places in our hearts, guides us toward truth, convicts us when we wander, and continuously shows us the way back to God.

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
If you were walking on a trail in the middle of the night without a flashlight, you probably wouldn’t get very far. But even a small light can help you see the next step. And that’s often how God works. He doesn’t always show us the whole path at once. He simply gives us enough light to see the next step.

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
When you shine a flashlight into a dark room, you realize pretty quickly what light does, it illuminates what was hidden. And in the same way, Jesus came to shine light into the dark, hidden places of our hearts. Because sunlight can brighten the world around us, but only Jesus can truly bring light to illuminate what’s on the inside of us.
