Light is one of the first words God speaks in Scripture and one of the last images the Bible leaves us with. It's also the thread our brand is built on — LUMENIS comes from the Latin word for light. Here are ten verses (KJV) about light, each with a short reflection for daily life.
1. Genesis 1:3
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Before anything else was ordered, light was spoken. New beginnings start with light entering the dark.
2. Psalm 119:105
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Guidance rarely comes as a floodlight over the whole road — usually it's a lamp for the next step.
3. Psalm 27:1
"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?"
Fear shrinks when light is a person, not a circumstance.
4. Isaiah 9:2
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light."
A promise spoken into national despair — and fulfilled centuries later. Darkness has an expiration date.
5. Matthew 5:14
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
Jesus doesn't say "try to be light." He says you already are. The only question is visibility.
6. Matthew 5:16
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Shining isn't self-promotion; it redirects attention upward.
7. John 1:5
"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
Darkness has never once won that contest. It cannot.
8. John 8:12
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Following isn't about having the full map — it's about staying close to the one carrying the lantern.
9. Ephesians 5:8
"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light."
Not "you were in darkness" — you were darkness. The transformation is total, so the walk should match.
10. 1 John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another."
Light is where honesty lives — with God and with each other.
