"Into the Light"

Out of the Shadows

It has been said that Michael Angelo kept a small candle burning on the bill of his cap when he was creating a masterpiece painting. The reason was to create light that would eliminate his own shadow from appearing on the painting while he worked. If he had not done this, his overall view of the colors would have been distracted and the famous paintings of this master artist may have never found their true beauty in the eyes of the beholders.

Is it possible that we too need a light on our caps today? When we find ourselves moving ahead in our lives and we are constantly reminded of our mistakes and how easily we are distracted; maybe we have moved ahead of the light! If the shadow of our physical limitations are always finding their ways in our path, only to remind us of the past, it would be wise to turn to the light. That candle that will light the way and eliminate the shadows of our human limits is in our Lord Jesus. He is the light of the world. Turn to the light and your shadows will vanish as you leave them behind you to go forward into His plan for your life today!

Let God light your path and you will find the shadows of our physical circumstances and limitations are no longer distracting your view of the life that He has planned for you! Don't let discouragement shadow your life. It is Jehovah El-Elyon who created all and is always there for you and we will find our view become brighter when we turn to Him!

Scripture for Today

Isa 45:5-8
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

Thot: Getting into the Light of the Word will lead us out of the shadows of this life!
