Spiritual Light

Good evening everyone.
What?! Two emails in one day?? Well, this is a follow up to the previous one, so you will get more from it if you read the other first.
There is a song by Petra from the 80s, The Road to Zion, that has a verse that goes like this…
Sometimes a shadow dark and cold
Lays like a mist across the road
But be encouraged by the sight
Where there’s a shadow there’s a light.
The Lord started putting physics concepts together about light. While shadows have no substance or energy, light has both.
The bible has a lot to say about light. God is light. We are children of the light. Walk in the light. You are the light of the world. In fact, the first thing God created physically was light. So He could see to work, I guess. (-:
Physical light is a copy of spiritual light, and it works in much the same way. So spiritual shadows also work like physical shadows. They are caused by something cutting off the light source. Did you know the scientific term for cutting off the line of sight to a heavenly body is occulting? Interesting… Psalm says thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Satan uses anything he can to cut off the truth, the word, from your heart.
But you have a flashlight inside you! It is as powerful as you make it. It gets brighter as you commune with the Lord in prayer and the word. The power supply is the Holy Spirit within you, but you have to stay plugged in.
If a light is small and dim, there can be large, scary shadows. But bright lights dispel darkness, so the shadows are small and not very scary. The shadows (spiritual) are really there, but our perspective changes and brightens as we plug into the Source of light. Remember the homework assignment from August? God, our Source, is light!
I love y’all.
