Today's reading: Isaiah 58, 59, 60; Psalm 8, 38, 68, 98, 128; Proverbs 8
Isaiah 60:19-20, "The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
There is one thing in life that I enjoy a lot. I enjoy going to lighthouses and photographing them. If you know me then you know that about me. I love to photograph them in the early morning or late in the evening.
I remember one time my cousin related to me how sometimes when you look at the horizon as the sun is setting it looks like it is going down into the water. If the water is choppy it looks like the sun is setting into the water and making it boil. This just fascinated me for a long time. Then one day I took a picture of the setting sun at Michigan City, IN at the lighthouse and there it appeared. It look like the sun was setting into Lake Michigan and the waters appeared to be boiling. I was so excited.
My point of rambling today? Light is an interesting study. I enjoy light. It warms you on a cold day. Light will guide you in the darkness. Try living in total darkness for a while and see if you don't have a real affinity for light.
There is coming a day when the sun and moon will pass away and be no longer needed because Jesus Christ will be the Light of heaven. I cannot imagine it; but, I am looking forward to it. Even so come Lord Jesus!
Are you ready?
