Can Be Deadly
God Knows
And Brings the Light.
Daniel 2:22
He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with him.
.
John 17:25
Jesus prayed: Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
In the cold dark of night
intruders, hollering, laughing, snickering, partying drunk and high,
on an adventure, the think,
enter the meadow, my home, such as it is.
Home Invasion, almost, as threatening.
What they do not know
is what is hiding in the cold dark, out there.
…
Skunks meandering after a meal of mice.
Coyotes laying in wait for whatever moves slowly.
Lynx, the hunter predator that silently stalks its prey, including vulnerable humans.
…
Life treats us similarly.
Venture into the cold dark,
into the dark of human sloth, scheming, striving, or revenge,
into the dark of the soul, where past sin accumulates a semi-truck overwhelming load of dark-matter, where regret rules and all hope is lost,
into the dark of the valley of misery, disease, and death,
venture into the cold dark,
and one is likely going to lose it all, entering the vortex that sucks one down, down, down forever …
unless
God sends the light into the cold darkness.
Caught in the darkness? Pray for the light to come, and soon.
