Walking in the Dark
One of the least favorite things to do while I am in Haiti is to walk the road at night. Between villages there are no street lights. Except for the occasional car that might pass by, the road is pitch black. Other than the light from a full moon you must make your way in total darkness. In all the years I have been traveling to the country, I have never gotten use to it. It scares me to be walking along the road and not knowing who I am going to meet on the road.
That is the way it is with my faith. I take to heart the scripture, "Christ is the light of the world. In Him there is no darkness".
My family gets upset with me sometimes because I will turn all the lights on in the house, even if I am not in the room . Why? I just do. Am I afraid of the dark? Not really, unless I am in Haiti.
Once you experience the light of Christ, darkness is not a friend unless you want to hide. As a boy for punishment my mother would make me sit in a dark closet. It wouldn't be for every long but it was long enough that I would be grateful when the door was opened.
In walking with Christ, I am rest assured that He will show me the way. I might wonder off the path occasionally but Christ leads me back through the light that He shines to show me the way. I am like others, sometimes I think I can find my own way back but end up getting lost. I then wonder around until I give in and ask Christ to help me find the way.
Whatever you might be facing today that brings darkness to your life rest assured Christ will help you find the way if you ask. He will always get you where you need to be. You can trust him for that because God Loves You!
