How priceless is Your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. For with you is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. Psalm 36:7 and 9
God is in complete contrast to fallen man. Man’s first instinct to hate, God’s is to love. Man keeps tallies of wrongs, God extends mercy. Man holds hurt in his heart, God choses to forget. Man seeks self preservation to extend his own life, God’s Son died to give us eternal life. Man is fallible, sometimes unreliable, God is perfect and faithful.
I have one flashlight within reaching distance of my bed, not a nightstand full. I carry only one small LED light in my purse. A single light gives enough illumination to find my way to greater light.
In a world of “Go Big or Go Home,” the power of ‘a little’ is underestimated. A little light, a little faith, a little love, will make a tremendous difference when added to the vast supply God, through His Son Jesus, already provides. We can be reconciled to God’s likeness through the light of a Savior that took the power of darkness away from the king of death.
Happy Weekend’s Eve,
