Like the Shining Sun

Daily Devotional – Tuesday, May 13, 2025
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
Proverbs 4:18 (NKJV)

Walking with God is not just about one moment or one big decision. It is a journey, a daily walk. According to our key text, the life of someone who follows God is like the sunrise. At first, it might be dim, but as the sun rises higher, everything becomes clearer and brighter.

Brighter Unto the Perfect Day

Living in God’s way means growing over time. We don’t have to have it all figured out today. As we keep choosing what is right and staying in His truth, He shapes our thoughts, our character, and our faith. Like the morning light slowly filling the sky, His presence fills more and more of our lives.

Some days feel dark. Progress might feel slow, and we may wonder if we are really moving forward. God, though, does not measure how fast we go. Rather, He cares about the direction we are heading. Even if it is one small step at a time, we are on the right path. The light will keep getting brighter.

Like the Shining Sun

Therefore, if today feels heavy or unclear, take heart. You are not stuck. Your path is like the shining sun. God is leading you toward hope, toward peace, toward fullness of life. Just keep walking with Him. The light is rising, and it’s only going to get brighter.

Prayer
Almighty God, when life feels slow or uncertain, remind me that in You, my path is like the shining sun. Help me not rush the process but stay faithful one step at a time until that perfect day when I will see you face-to-face.
