A Shining Light

Light always dispels the dark. But sometimes shadows flicker around its edges. To remove the shadows, the light must be brought into that particular area. For example, if I walk into a room with a candle, the darkness cannot exist where the flame is burning, but around the perimeter of the room, some onyx shading may linger. If I carry the candle to that area, then the gloom is removed.
Scripture says that the enemy has blinded the minds of people to prevent them for seeing the truth that’s able to liberate them. When God’s truth shows up, a candle is lit in the midst of that darkness of mind. Suddenly,

illumination resides where before all was black as pitch. Anywhere the candle moves, clarity is given and understanding of truth dawns. But, if the candle is left to burn down, the shadows begin to lengthen, or if the candle remains in a single spot, murkiness will fray the edges of the light’s circle of truth with the uncertainty of darkness’s influence.  The counter to this kind of confusion comes with adding more light. The more of God’s truth that we put into our lives, the higher the wattage of light we permit to shine into the areas that have been shadowed by the enemy. Allowing truth to FILL our inner man brings clarity and eliminates shadows of fear, confusion, insecurity, and unbelief.

Tip/Tidbit: Do you have spiritual uncertainties? Do you struggle with faltering faith? Do you find yourself regularly subjected to fear, doubt or insecurity? Fan the flame of truth by filling your mind with more of God’s word. Then, watch the shadows become smaller and smaller as the Light of God grows ever brighter.
