God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
The verse above from Genesis came to me as I continue to read, "Learning to Walk in the Dark". There is much that is coming to mind as I think about light and dark, this one for example...dark is never dark to God, as Psalm 139 tells us.
Fear of the unknown, fear of the dark, fear of the absence of someone, fear of loosing love....fear for me was dark and scarey.
My perspective is changing as God awakens things in me that I previously suppressed.
Over the last several years walking into the unknown has shed light on to things that either I didn't want to look at, or I had no idea was there....there were things that I didn't like, hummm, but as I look back I wasn't afraid.
When I would wake in the middle of the night for months on end, I treasured what God and I would "converse" about as I lay in the dark....hummm, in those moments I didn't fear the dark.
I could go on about the things that I am thinking, but the question that is coming to mind to take into my life is, what if, when I find myself in a "dark" place, I could take a step back and ask, "show me your light Lord, that I know is here-what do you want me to see?"
What would change in your life if you considered this question in times of "darkness"?
