let there be light

( Maybe this was just for me....maybe someone needs to read this....I dunno I was just so excited about it that I had to share!!! )

God has been speaking to me about light and I want to do my clumsiest best to share with you what has given me reason to weep with joy at the goodness of God.  Just this morning I sat at the kitchen table and laid my head down with the shear weight of the goodness of God’s loving mercy.   All I could say was HALLELUJAH!

Since April I have been in one of the biggest mind battles I have ever experienced to date as a believer.  There have been some very dark days.  Days of “GOD WHERE DID YOU GO!?”  Days of not being able to open my bible because the words would just swim in front of my eyes and make no sense to me.  I share this is because I know many of you all have been in the same place recently.  Wading through the darkness of your own thoughts and trusting God for the strength to get your teeth brushed.  Those are hard days.  

God spoke: “Light!”
        And light appeared. Genesis 1:3

The first thing God created was light....why?  Because he needed to see what he was dealing with!  Once the situation was laid bare and open things got dealt with, beauty and order came.  It is the same for us today folks!  God spoke LIGHT into our hearts and minds and WHAMO, it appeared;  illuminating all that is in need of the care and love of Jesus Christ.  

he spoke and there it was,
    in place the moment he said so. Psalm 33:9

I wish I could reach through the screen and make you look me in the eye now.....GOD SPOKE AND THERE IT WAS!  BOOM!  Right there!  When all is swirling around you and life is taking a chunk out of your hindquarters, remember this....

GOD SPOKE HIS PROMISES INTO YOUR LIFE AND THERE IT WAS, IN PLACE THE MOMENT HE SAID SO!  

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6
