Faithful Thursday "Letting the Light Filter Through"

 

You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

Psalms 18:28

Hello friends!  The other day it was raining really hard at our house. We have actually had quite a bit of rain lately. And as the rain ended, I looked out my kitchen window and saw sunlight filtering through the trees hitting the grass and the gravel on our driveway. It was so beautiful and cheerful after the darkness of the storm that had just passed through. But, the storm was over and bright sunlight was now filtering through.

You know, sometimes life can bring darkness and storms. Troubled days can pour down like rainfall and surround us with the thunder and lightning of problems and concerns. Everyone has seasons of trouble and it is a sad fact of life. 

During these times, it is important to remember that we do not go through these times alone. God is always present with us whether the storms of life are raging or whether the sunlight is filtering through the days of our lives. 

God is our source of strength and courage and He will always keep our lamps burning if we rely on Him. While it is inevitable that there will be dark days in life, God is able to turn our darkness into light. 

In the book of John, Chapter 8 and verse 12 Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." This is a promise that we can hang onto when the dark days come. We know that Christ has overcome all the darkness and better days lay ahead for each of us. 

I hope you will join me in putting your trust in Jesus, God in earthly form, who has promised to never leave our side.

Blessings,

Debbie
