A couple of days ago, I captured this photo on a morning walk with a friend. We start out our walk when it's still dark outside and soon the dark must bow to THE LIGHT. What a sweet way to behold God and His goodness. When we say, "Good Morning, Lord!" He replies with a gorgeous sunrise.
During this particular walk, it seemed "light" was our focus. His Light. And, how when His Light comes into our conversations, our situations, and our thoughts -- darkness is dispelled. When He said, "Let there be LIGHT" -- He showed up with sun and moon and stars and daytime. And when He says "Let there be LIGHT" in our lives, He brings joy and peace and a bright new day.
We finished our three-mile walk and as we made the corner to our homes, we looked back and there was a brilliance of light over the homes in our subdivision. It felt like God was putting a big spotlight on the place that we walked around. We sensed His favor and approval.
I came back into my home and sat down for my morning devotion and my scripture reading was: "The Lord is my LIGHT and my salvation; whom should I fear? The Lord is my life's refuge; of whom should I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1
This is a week for waiting. I'm recalling Jesus' final days, his final steps toward the cross, His final words, and awaiting His final victory. I really don't like thinking about His suffering, but when I do, I know that everything about that suffering is still colored by victory. So the Psalmist's words , "The Lord is my LIGHT and my salvation" is not just wishful thinking. It is the bedrock of our lives. He is the Victor. Period. He triumphed. And so can you and I. Yes, He is our LIGHT!
