Does it seem dark to you? I mean when you look around does it seem that the world and the times we are living in look dark and a bit scary? You read about, you hear on the news about... wars, famines, earthquakes, volcano's erupting, tsunami, and uprisings in cities you may never have heard of; the names of countries you know little about. All can give you a sense of unrest in your soul, fears and worries about your future and that of your family.
When I was growing up in Southern California as a child and I had stayed out to late at friends playing after supper, coming back home at night in the dark got scary at times, especially when it was windy and the trees gave off shadows and seemed to creek and give out sounds in the night. My steps would quicken and I was oh so glad to see the porch light of my house!
Jesus gives us a ray of hope and a lamp for our darkest times with His words in
John Chapter 12 verse 46,
“I am come a light into the world that whoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.” Did you catch the good news? “I am come”, the 'I AM' , (God Himself), has come into your DARK world, “a LIGHT” and what does a light do to the darkness? It displaces it. It dispels it! He came, and He comes to us 'to shine!', “that whoever believes on me”, that's you & me, “should NOT abide, (or live), in darkness.” That truly is 'Good News.'
I have heard it said, “It is always darker just before dawn.” It is about to break the dawning of a new day, walk in the light of His presence and have HOPE friends.
Get refreshed daily...spread the word.
