“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full daytime. The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. “ Proverbs 4:18-19
Those who are counted righteous through faith in Christ Jesus follow Jesus and are conformed more and more to His likeness until they are raised from the dead and transformed into His perfect image (cf. Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:18). The way of the wicked is darkness; they do not see the way of life and do not know over what they stumble and fall.
Open my eyes, O Lord, that I may see my sins and failings and look to Jesus and His cross for forgiveness and life; and grant that I be conformed into His image, more and more each day until that day when I am changed and perfectly reflect His likeness. Amen.
