"But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, 'Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.'" -Ephesians 5:13-14 (NASB)
When I used to live in a house on a nature preserve. I remember taking my dog for walks through the forest at night. It always amazed me how much different a place can look when light is either added or taken away. The same trees, the same path, but a different look and feel! When thinking about our spiritual travels, we also must consider the light and darkness on our journeys.
As we travel through life, we will experience times that are challenging or maybe even scary! When we experience trials in our life, we can let the darkness creep in. The darkness may hide the love, the goodness, or the lesson that is in the experience. Without seeing the good, we can slip further into the darkness. However, if we add light to the situation, then we can see the good in the experience and find our way out of what could become a darker situation. When we begin to see or feel darkness creeping in, we know that Jesus is our light! He can shine in our lives and make everything visible! We just have to call on Him and then wait for Him to wake us and guide us with His light!
Trust in Jesus to overcome the darkness with His light!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for being my light. Help me to always search for Your light, even when the situation may seem the darkest. In Jesus, my Light and my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
