The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and God will be your glory. Isaiah 60:19 NIV
"That bug is sure dumb," my daughter shared as we relaxed in the swimming pool.
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"It just flew straight into the wall." Certainly not a smart thing to do, but it got me thinking about bugs. This really isn't my favorite subject I mean after all they are bugs.
A realization came over me though, maybe bugs really aren't so dumb. Maybe there is something to the life of a bug. Where do they go when it's dark? The light. A bug is smart enough to know it doesn't want to live in the darkness, it would rather be where there's light.
Why avoid the darkness? Maybe because predators lurk in the dark just waiting to eat them. If a bug can figure out it doesn't like the darkness, why can't we?
Why do people hide in the dark? Do they enjoy living awaiting for the attack of the predators? Is there a reason to hide away from the light?
Sure there's shame, things we don't want anyone to know about us. It's easier to live like nobody knows what we've done because if we admitted what we've done nobody would look at us the same again. The light will reveal the problem we have.
The light though will not only free us from the darkness and the shame, but bring us back into fellowship with others. Just like a bunch of bugs surround the only light in the darkness.The love from the body of Christ will help us overcome the darkness and give us the glory of God.
