keep the light on

For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

- Psalm 18:28 NKJV

 

Commercial jingles and slogans are supposed to catch your ear and make you want what ever product they are trying to sell.
If they are really good, people can just mention the tag line of the commercial and everyone knows what product they are talking about.

It’s the real thing – Coca-Cola.

Have it your way – Burger King.
No one can eat just one – Lay’s Potato Chips.
We bring good things to life – General Electric. 

Just do it – Nike.

Since 1986, Motel 6 had Tom Bodett saying, “We’ll leave the light on for ya”.

Believe it or not, Motel 6 didn’t plan for that to be their slogan, it was an ad-lib while in the recording studio.
Leaving a light on is not a new concept, and it isn’t just about hotels. 
People have been using light to find their way for centuries. 
The stars, a lighthouse, a lamp in the window, a signal fire, there are all kinds of light to show us the way.

In 2023 David Leonard released a song called Keep The Light On, here are some of the lyrics:
The day’s been a struggle

And the nights been hard

I’ve been romin’ through the dark

With a broken heart

When temptation leaves me walking blind

I’ll look to You Lord every time

Like a full moon rising

In the dead of night

Your love came and found me

Like a satellite

Come flood this soul make

It burn so bright

The shadows have nowhere to hide

Like a lighthouse in the storm

Like a star that points me north

I’d be lost without

Your lamp unto my feet

Like a voice that calls me home

All my days forever more

Won’t You keep the light on

Keep the light on me

Won’t You keep the light on

Keep the light on

On me

There’s a grace like a fire

Oh it won’t burn out

To a sinner like me

How sweet the sound

You found me when I cried out

I looked to You then like

I look to You now

Like a lighthouse in the storm

Like a star that points me north

I’d be lost without

Your lamp unto my feet

Like a voice that calls me home

All my days forever more

Won’t You keep the light on

Keep the light on me
That is pretty deep, isn’t it? 

When we have a bad day, God can be our light.
When we are sad or broken or in trouble, God is the light that leads us out of the darkness.

No matter what you are going through, there really is light.
God is our light.
