darkness 3

The inky darkness surrounds us.  Have you ever been afraid of the dark?  My little girls are, they sleep with 2 night lights on, They trust in the light, there is saftey and peace in the light.  They trust that mommy and daddy will keep them safe.  As we adults grow older it almost seems to me that we become accustomed to the darkness at first.  Enough time goes by that we embrace the darkness.  More time passes that we long for the darkness.  Eventually something will happen that will rock you to the core, It will be different for everyone.  When this happens we start to fear the darkness, we start to see it for what it is.  It's a tool the evil one uses to entice us to come to him.  I imagine most people will question where Jesus was when we were going through our dark place.  He was there with you the whole time...hand on your sholder.  Will you turn to the only one that has the power to defeat this inky darkness?  Will we turn to Jesus and let him come into us and shine his light of safety and light?  Will we follow him as peter did?  will we deny him or will we say yes lord i will go where you go, i will pray what you pray?


Father i pray for everone who is in their time of darkness.  This darkness surrounds us not only individually, but as a body of beleivers and non beleivers.  I pray that you would move in your people that we may shine our light to those who are still struggling in their dark place.  I pray that i would be a light to those who need it.  I pray that we as christians would be like a beacon, leading people from their dark place. 

in jesus name, amen
