Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.
Winter is the darkest time of the year and spring signals the rebirth of nature. As I write this on a dreary cold winter day the days are starting to get longer - but by the time you read this it will be spring time. Daylight will be significantly longer and it will be much warmer than the string of sub freezing days we have been experiencing! The waiting is almost over; Lent is drawing to a close.
What do you regularly take for granted? Today, as I shovel snow at the end of my driveway it’s hard to imagine just how hot and dry the little patch of grass covered by the ice and snow will be this summer. When we read this in the spring the ice will be gone and it will be easier to believe that the heat will come.
How often do we take our sight for granted? Recently a popular TV show portrayed the value of a blind witness’s heightened senses in solving a crime. Part of the story line was the questionable creditability of the witness because he was blind. If we walk in darkness we don’t know where we are going – but our other senses can become sharpened. Why walk in the darkness, when we have the Light. Embrace the Light, believe in the Light; for although He is only with us for a few more days, His love endures.
