I talked with an individual who had
been struggling with a difficult situation. After a significant time of praying
. . . there was clarity . . . not everything was clear . . . but it was clear
what needed to be done.
How do you and I find that kind of clarity?
How do you and I find that kind of clarity?
Clarity is a gift. We are able to see through the darkness of this world through the presence of Christ, the Light of the world. Light and life are frequently interconnected in God’s instructions to life. The
ancient culture of Biblical times understood
light to be revelation. In the Old Testament, light often referred to
instruction and guidance that brought clarity to life.
The Psalmist wrote:
Psalm 56:13
For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Ultimately, we are told that Christ
is life and light:
John 1:4
In him was life, and that life was the light of all people.
What does the image of light mean in this era?
In this time of history, we have learned that there is enormous power generated to turn on the lights of a home. The "haves" of this world may not think about the power behind the flip of a switch; however, we know we need the power to have light.

Likewise, there is incredible power of the Spirit that brings Light to our mind heart, illuminating the truth, giving clarity. The process of prayer, meditation, and counsel are components of attaining clarity through the Light. When we live in the Light, we are living in power that is beyond our comprehension.
Seek God for clarity through His Light..
Pray.
Surrender to the power of the Spirit.
Learning
with you to KICK START the day . . . in the Light.
