Flip the switch
posted Wednesday, July 27, 2005 :: 5:13 PM
When we walk into a dark room, how do we banish the darkness? Do
we somehow try to grasp the darkness and wrestle it out the door? No,
of course not, we simply flip the light switch.
So how do
we banish that which is darkness in our lives? Bitterness, hardness,
depression, despair, pride, a critical or accusatory heart, resentment,
harshness, anger, immorality, secret sin, etc. is all the fruit of sin,
the flesh, and the enemy in our lives – it is darkness. So often we try
to wrestle it out the door. Let’s flip the switch instead. Kneel before
Jesus and worship at His feet. Thank Him for who He is and His many
blessings. Draw near to Him, and allow Him to draw near to us. Let His light banish the darkness in us.
