Here is today’s Bible reading:  Judges 17:1-18:31; John 3:1-21; Psalm 104:1-23; Proverbs 14:20-21.

John 3:19-21 (NIV)
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. [20] Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. [21] But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”

One of the means of God shining light into our lives is through community–specifically, small groups where we mutually humble ourselves by being transparent.  This light reveals our sin and spurs us on to holiness.  Without this light and accountability, we will make little progress in Christlikeness.  Are you living in the light of this kind of community.  If not, how will you pursue it?
