Lesson 15: Lighthouses
Lighthouses hold a lot of romance. The picture of a lighthouse standing tall against a darkening sky, shining its light across the billowing waves inspires and encourages us. The stores of lighthouse keepers and daring rescues hold our imagination. Today most lighthouses are unoccupied; they are simply automated lights fixed to structures on shore. Nevertheless they still provide navigational aid to sailors at night, leading them to a harbour or warning them about dangers.
Lighthouses remind me of those people in my life who inspire me. They are the strong, stalwart Christians who have held their place amid the storms of doubt and the waves of discouragement. The have proven by their years of steadfastness that they can be trusted, that their advice is sound, and that they can be relied upon. As you reflect about your life think about those people who have inspired you. Thank God for those who continue to shine a light for you, warning you of dangers and directing you to where you should go.
Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world.
