Description

This is a smaller version of a larger watercolor that I digitally altered to create an interesting abstract image that reminds me of a close up light breaking through an early morning mist... in the forest. But more importantly it also reminds me of God's spiritual light breaking through the surrounding darkness...

Do you remember the power crisis in California on that hot Saturday afternoon, August 10, 1996, when thousands of people in nine western states, including parts of Canada and Mexico lost power for many hours? I do.

Two days after that power crisis the local newspapers tried to assure us that next time there was a power shortage the power system managers would determine who should receive power, and who should be cut off so that another complete blackout could be avoided in the Western power grid.

"There are islands of power within the darkness" was how one newspaper article described the power failure. Another commentary stated: "It is impossible to build an entirely fail-safe system".

As is often the case, what happens in the physical realm often parallels what God is doing in the spiritual realm. So what is God saying to His children through His Spirit in regard to His Power System?

God assures us that those who live by the Spirit will have no shortage of Holy Spirit power. "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Our God is at work making sure His "customers" receive all the power they need. In fact, God has marked His customers with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing their inheritance until their redemption (Ephesians 1:13).

In view of the fact that we are called to be the light of the world...islands of power that will illuminate the darkness around us, let us let the Treasure that we each carry in our earthen vessels shine forth... Jesus Christ's agape love.

He is the Light that lights up every man. He is the love that the world is waiting to see. Yes, we are called to be His fingers of light pointing the way to the heart of the Father that is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.♥
