” For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.” Psalm 36:9
” But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.” Psalm 33:18
Sometimes it is best when we just shut our eyes and focus on the good things in our lives. When we deal with our Lord God in heaven this is the way that best suits him. When we let the things around us go dark, we are submitting to our Lord. We are not clogging our thoughts with ways we can help ourselves. We are telling God that we trust him to lead us along the path. We are trusting Him to keep us from harm’s way. We are relying on God’s ways and not our own. With the Lord there is no darkness. He is the light. He is the answer to all questions and the redeemer of all our faults. When his light shines, we are able to see things differently. We are able to better understand why things happen the way they do. Without him leading us through the jungle of life we become confused and desperate to understand the conditions of our situations. It is up to us to submit. The Lord is always watching over us with his unfailing love that is always available to us. The problem is that sometimes we fail to remember this. We fail to be doers of his word and truly are only hearers of his word. We read, pray and meditate and then go out into the world and continue to worry and fear the things around us. Our faith begins to wane, and we become victims and not overcomers. It is necessary that we change the way we think, speak, and live our lives. We should live them in the light of our Lord and not the darkness of the world. Before we read his Holy Word we should pray for his guidance, his understanding and his wisdom. When we pray, we must pray in earnest by using the name of Jesus, our Savior. When we pray, we should lay our prayers at his feet and never pick them up again. We must believe that he hears us and answers us. Just because his answers may not agree with the way we think, doesn’t mean he has left us or doesn’t hear us. He is always there, and we must have the faith to believe without doubt. So, let us close our eyes and begin to the use His eyes for guidance. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
