This morning I received this Anne Graham Lotz email in my computer inbox. It talks about 'turning on the light'.
Here in north central Iowa, we have lots of snow cover! While it is dark in the early evenings now; with longer nights and shorter days, I noticed the first evening of the 'white covering' how much lighter it was! The 'white' tended to make the 'dark' lighter! Sort of like the difference God makes in each of our lives!
TURN ON THE LIGHT
"The unfolding of your words give light;
it gives understanding to the simple."
~ Psalm 119:130 NIV
"In the beginning there was no dawn to end the night,
no sun to warm the day,
no moonlight reflected in the swirling water,
no horizon,
just a never-ending night!
"God didn't leave our environment in a murky, dusky twilight, 'God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day' and the darkness he called 'night' (Genesis 1:4 NIV)
"While the light described was literal, it has wonderful analogy and personal meaning for you and me, because light in the spiritual sense represents the truth, clarity, spiritual understanding, and discernment we receive from God's written Word. So....read your Bible and turn the Light on!"
