I hate the new lightbulbs
I like light. The brighter, the better. I'm a 100 watt girl. I like it positively glowing around me. So I must admit how much I hate the new, dim, energy saving light bulbs. (Is it just me?) I know they last 200 hours longer and will allegedly save our environment, but they don't shine. I want shine out of my light bulbs. Shiny shine. I want to be blinded by the light. Not dimmed out like the "evening" setting on my make-up mirror, but shining like the sun. Shine, light, shine!
So is it any surprise at all that I found this "light" Scripture the other day, and wanted to eat it all up?
"He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit and I will live to enjoy the light." (Job 33:28)
The pit is dark, dank, despair. But hallelujah, God has saved me from that pit, that coal mine, that darkness of my soul. He's brought me to the light and while I was once blind, I now can see. It's so beautiful out here in the light. I am grateful, and I promise to always, always, always enjoy the light He has shed.
I will live to enjoy the light! It's a promise, a shout-out, a celebration. Picture it being yelled out at a football game or from the top of the Empire State Building:
I
will
live
to
enjoy
the
light!
Are you in the dark today? Been there, done that. You can be brought to the light...maybe for the first time ever. Many of us are used to the dim bulbs and dark places. It's what we're used to. We've never see the 100 watt power of the Light of the World. Oh, how I pray you would not settle for darkness. Don't even settle for DIM! Pray that He will let His light shine on you, on your heart, your life, your circumstance. Then join me in proclaiming....
I
will
live
to
enjoy
the
light!
