I was wondering why it was that children, when they are left in the dark, they become fearful. Tonight I walked outside at night, like I do often, but I became a little fearful. Looking around as if something was going to happen.
Many nights I had to walk long distances in the night, with all sorts of noises and things scaring me.
Like one night I had to walk down a long road that had woods on both sides, and NO lights. So, when a car would come I would be SOOO glad, because that meant light was coming, and while the light was there I would run to get some distance while I could see where I was going. But when the car would pass too far, I would stop and walk slowly again, praying the whole time, even repenting (or at least saying I would)!! lol.
But I thought about a child who wants a nightlight. And I remember when I was a child, I wanted a night light. Because the darkness put fear in me. And when we got that nightlight I stared at that nightlight until I went to sleep. I stayed concentrated on that nightlight, because simply looking at it gave me peace from fear.
And I thought about Jesus. How that he came as Light in a dark world. And in this dark world, we have to stay focused on that Light, or else fear would come in. The Lord has made me like a little child, TRULY!! I cannot see without that Light, and if I don't have that Light to light my path, I can't run. And I call on The Light to give me peace when it is dark. And I pray that Light will lead me into His rest.
Things are concealed in darkness, but The Light exposes all things that are done under the cover of darkness.
May Jesus bless you.
