Where The Light Is.

It's been a really long time since I've posted a 'serious', inspirational type post.  I thought it was about time.  I can only do these kinds of things when I'm in the mood.  I guess you could say I have 'serious spells'.

Recently I've been loving this song by Anthem Lights called 'Where The Light Is',  hence the title.  I was really intrigued by the whole idea of this song.

It'll be helpful if I insert the music here, so you know what the heck I'm even talking about.  Yeah, that would be a good idea...

Oh, Caleb's face...priceless.  So this song has really given me a vivid visual of God's power.  There's a line in this song that says, "Darkness doesn't stand a chance."  It got me thinking about the true capacity of God and His people.

With just one spark of light, the fire brightens more than just itself.  Everything around it is illuminated.  Now, imagine that every one of us Christians is a lightbulb.  It doesn't matter how small of a flame or how weak our faith may seem, it is still bright.

As usual, the darkness represents the evils, or the devil.  Now, when a light is turned on, where did that darkness go?  Darkness doesn't stand a chance where the light is.  When the dark and light are combined, which one overpowers?  The light.  The light will always occupy dark crevices.  Evil can not hide from the rays of blinding light.

Now lets think about one last thing.  What does a light need to burn?  Once it is ignited, how will it survive?  Usually, fire needs oxygen, space, and fuel to keep itself going for a period of time.

How does this relate to you and your light?

When I say oxygen, space and fuel is needed to keep it burning, I'm not only refering to fires.  I'm also talking about people like yourself.  Think about it...

When you are stressed out and are having a bad day, what do people tell you?  Take a deep breath.  That oxygen calms you down and clears your mind.

Sometimes there are days that I just need some space.  It would be better if I was just alone in my bed under the covers.  You've got to disconnect from the real world sometimes and think about the less urgent things.  You must free your mind from all the thoughts that are out to constrict your abilities.  Rest makes sure your light doesn't go out.

Finally, we need fuel.  Where do you turn to when you need guidance (besides Pinterest...)?  I think that the Bible is my fuel.  It provides me with that extra jolt of energy.  It keeps my flame burning happily.

So now do you believe that we are like lights?  I think it's cute how Anthem Lights' fans are called light bulbs.  I love that term for Christians.  It's like that song about 'this little light of mine'!!!!!  Ahhhhh connection!

So take a deep breath, escape from the world, and read your Bible.  Good things come to those who wait.  Patience.

I'll have more posts for my fall series coming soon!  Don't forget to follow me, it really helps!

Much Love,
