The nights just keeps on getting cooler and cooler as summer fades into fall. Pretty soon winter will be here. I’ll be prepared when that time comes.

In my devotion today, I read about how being accustomed in darkness will make us experience pain once the light is shined on us. Over the weekend, we went to the eye doctor to have our eyes checked. They have this procedure where the will dilate your eyes. Man firsthand account will tell you how crazy the world looks under the bright sun when your eyes are dilated. I tell you there is no shade that would make your eyes feel better except for darkness.

When we sin we allow ourselves to be in engulfed in darkness. When we are in darkness, we tend to be short-sighted and only see the things near us. We need to be in the light in order to see the beauty of God’s glory.


Ephesians 5:8

For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!
