The humidity hung heavy in the air this morning – so thick
it was hard to see the big condominium building down the street. The sun lay low, just barely over the
horizon line, perfectly circular and beautiful. As it rose the fog dissipated – the air lightened and became
more clear. And soon the mist was
gone all together, the sun shining clear and bright, high in the sky.
That’s how it is when darkness comes, isn’t it? It is shrouded with mist and fog. It makes it hard to see clearly. Things seem confusing, the truth seems
hard to discern. But then the
light comes. The light comes and
brings clarity.
Sometimes the lies of Satan close in around us and we become
confused, wandering around in the mist trying to find our way. We lose sight of the truths we have
always known. But God is
faithful. Like the sun, he always
comes. He always shows up to shine
his light of life and truth and love.
And when that happens the darkness flees and we feel the warmth and
goodness of God on our faces. Our souls
are lightened and lifted in his presence, the darkness and depression replaced
with joy.
