LIGHT

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. (Isaiah 9:2, Matthew 4:16)   The light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. (John 1:5)
 
Light

Quick trip to see friends out of state. We were driving in pitch dark and not sure exactly where we were. My husband and I were both on alert to watch for landmarks that would guide us back to where we were staying that night.
We never saw the big warehouse, but next day we did. It was huge and literally as plain as day. We wondered how we could have missed it the night before.

That got me thinking about when we are 'in the light', and how we see things we never saw 'in the dark'.  How many times have I asked myself the question, "How was it I didn't know that?"  "How come I didn't realize??" 
Of course the answer is, I just couldn't see it. Enlightenment is just that; receiving understanding in and through the light. Jesus truly is the Light of the world. As we live and walk in the light of the Lord, the Holy Spirit continually bathes us in revelation. 
I am wondering, "What am I not seeing today?"  

Prayer: Lord, please come and shine your Light on anything that is shadowed, or in darkness, in my life. Let me see clearly, through the eyes of Jesus. Amen.
