Most people benefit from at least 15 minutes of sunlight a day, not to mention the fresh air. This is especially important if you work inside all day and then go straight home into your climate-controlled house. It is also helpful to put your car A/C system on the fresh air setting.

The biggest benefit and the best light, of course, is the Word of God. If you don’t think you have time to read a lot of the Word, even online, you can subscribe to a site that auto-sends you a Scripture and maybe even a whole devotion.

If you prefer reading the actual Book, you can pray and ask the LORD which verse you should read today, for He knows exactly what you need, what will strengthen you for the hours ahead, or comfort you from the hours before.

Another part of living light is to laugh more often. God is not a stern, angry God; He is the God of love, peace, and joy! Proverbs 15:15 says, “All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.”

Find something that makes you laugh, and preferably something that brings glory to God at the same time. There are many good Christian comics and websites available now. Just do a search for “Christian humor” or “Christian jokes”—and be sure and include the key word: Christian!
