CLEAR

Would that life was always day. That we always had nothing, but light and the world would make sense.

But then there would be less reason to trust the Lord. Not much concern over what you don’t know.

And anxiety would be less than a reality. We would just have a realm that always made sense and was clear.

As much as that is such a blessing. It won’t happen. God doesn’t offer us that option. So we normally try and invent it in some way.

Which never really works. But we do love to imagine it works that way. However it is not reality.

I wish that I could say there was a way to make this the way we prefer. But I do rejoice over the light we do get.

It might not always be quite as bright as we would like, but it is genuine. And that is what matters.

For myself, I would be happy if this never caused any problems. However it always creates its own difficulties.


More in terms of how I deal with what I can see. Those moments that haven’t come yet that I want to try and figure out.

And it is really about wanting control. The means to end any anxiety. Only that never happens.

God won’t take away bad times if they gets too tough. He will prove His hand of provision, but never to the point we have no more problems.

So sad it is when the world seems to fall apart. And nobody offers any solutions. We simply have to trust.

That is an easy answer, but the right one. Maybe not the one we want, but it is the truth. And that is what matters.

Just a matter of our capacity to embrace them. And then seek the light He provides. Might no come as we wish, but that is part of the test.

So we can enjoy and let it be a time of understanding. To that end we can celebrate. If we truly see His hand holding the match.

And it is by grace we really have eyes.
