Many people today live under so much artificial light that they can no longer see the stars. In fact, I’ve been told that around 80% of people in North America can’t see the Milky Way at night. City lights and other man-made sources of brightness cover up the natural beauty of the sky. This is a powerful picture of what happens in our spiritual lives too.

We have created so many distractions that we are blinded from what really matters. But God’s Word is not like the lights of the city—it doesn’t hide the truth. Instead, it helps us see clearly. The Bible tells us in Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God’s Word shows us the way to go and reveals what is true, even when everything around us is dark or confusing.

God’s voice cuts through the noise of the world and even the darkness in our hearts. His truth helps us walk safely and shows us what we could not see before: His glory. It has always been there—we just needed His light to see it.
