"Even if our gospel is veiled, it is
veiled to those who are perishing, in
whose case the god of this world has
blinded the minds of the un
believing, that they might not see
the light of the gospel of the glory of
Christ, who is the image of God. (2
Corinthians 4:3-4, NASB)
The trail leading around the edge
of the lake to the cabin was
precarious and overgrown; so my
husband carried the lantern and
led the way, pushing aside under
brush on that dark night. It seemed
a logical approach to the problem;
but instead of seeing the cleared
path, all 1 could see was the bright
glare of the lantern. This "logical"
plan positioned me so that I
stumbled along the path, blinded
by what should have been my
source of light.
Had 1 continued on in blindness,
refusing the light when offered me,
1 could have easily slipped and
fallen, perhaps even perished. But
when I received the lantern and
carried it close to my side, I could
see the path in front of me clearly
enough to walk safely.
God's grace is not logical in
human terms. It is only when we
draw near to Christ that the dark
paths of life are illumined.
PRAYER: Lord, remove the
scales from our eyes that we may
see Thy light. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Salvation has to be experienced to
be believed.
