Battle Against Darkness

I was driving one early morning this week to meet with my Bible study for an early morning rendezvous. On my way, I was driving west, towards the beautiful Rocky Mountains. At one point, I started driving north and was driving along the brink line between light and darkness. It was actually surreal to think about. That my driving line matched up perfectly with the sun's perpetual battle against the darkness. I mean, there were black and grey menacing clouds to the west and brilliant sunlight shining from the east. The sun is always chasing away the darkness.

Then it hit me...the Son's perpetual battle against the darkness must be even more dramatic to see.

I see it every day within me. I see it when I encounter my co-workers, my family and friends...in politics, on TV--everywhere! Then I was absolutely filled with peace to know that this battle was already decided by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. That dark hour echoed into eternity and defeated the evil one forever.

It was astounding to remember that I am the daughter of the Lord of all. I pray that you, too, can remember this fact. This journey need not be dark. His brilliance will shine into Your life despite the darkness trying to penetrate into any crevasse it can find. (In fact, it cannot live in any other place but crevasses). Keep the grace of the Son shining in all areas of your life and darkness will not overcome.
