A lighthouse is a tower, a building, a type of structure designed to emit light from a series of lamps and lenses to aid maritime vessels safely into port or harbor.
The earliest known lighthouse was built in Egypt over 2,000 years ago. Archaeologists have found more than 30 lighthouses built by Romans. The first British colonial lighthouse is located in Boston, Mass. (Project Archaeology)
The lighthouse has always represented a tower of strength and hope. Standing tall, never bending or breaking as the sea crashes into it day and night, raging storm after raging storm. Silently sending a message of a safe haven approaching to the ship being tossed around in the sea, a glimmer of light in the darkness. A beacon of hope.
We also have a lighthouse standing tall and strong, unmovable in any storm, sending light into your darkness, a message of peace and a beacon of hope. The Bible is a light and a map to guide us as we maneuver through the tricky waterways of life.
Psalms 119:105 ESV “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalms 43:3 ESV “Send out your light and truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.”
John 8:12 ESV “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.”
1 John 1:5 ESV “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.”
Acts 26:18 ESV “To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and the place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.”
Matthew 5:16 ESV “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven.”
If your world seems dark, turn on the light. The storms are blowing, and the rain is beating against your window panes. Turn to the One who calms the storm with his hand. (see Mark 4:35-41)
