I know some people, great witnesses, that have been through so much stuff it makes you wonder how they keep going. I know people who have lost young children to cancer and accidents. I know people who have lost possessions due to theft and catastrophe. I know people who have lost mobility and independence due to disease and illness. And, many of these people that have been through so much still praise GOD for His goodness. Makes you think, huh?
Have you, like me, ever wondered how these people keep going? How they keep a positive attitude? How they continue to be strong in faith when it seems that everything else is falling apart around them? It's hard to fathom some of the things they have been through, and, yet, they keep strong.
Today's word is John 1:5, NASB, which reads, "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
The reason these people can continue on, strong, is because they have the LIGHT. The LIGHT, JESUS CHRIST, directs our path if we are His children and will follow. When you see light, you can see that there are better things ahead. Those who continue strong in faith in the midst of despair and loss are the ones who truly see the LIGHT.
Once they see the LIGHT and continue strong in faith, it confuses folks; that's the last part of the verse, "...and the darkness did not comprehend it." It's hard to explain to others how you continue steadfast, except to say, "JESUS!" What's wrong with him? He has seem the LIGHT!
Be Blessed,
