Introduction

Light has always fascinated me. I still don't fully understand what it is. But what it does is nonetheless intriguing. And the more I spend time in the true light, the Word of God, the more it dawns on my mind that here are fascinating themes that will never be exhausted through all eternity.

I enjoy summarizing what I learn as I study God's Word, and decided that I should share some of those lessons. My hope is that some of the glimpses of light which encourage me will also encourage you.

"God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5 "And this is life eternal, that they might know... God." John 17:3

    I love your theme Lisa. It made me think of something. What is "The Word"? Well, we can ask what is a word? A written word is meaning created out of a contrast between light and dark spaces. In the same way, The Word is meaning created from the contrast of light with darkness, life with death, order with chaos. The Great Controversy is a demonstration of these contrasts. In the midst of this Great Controversy, the watershed event was that "The word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Every man was given the opportunity to read in flaming letters of love the contrast between light and darkness, life and death, heaven and hell.

The Hand of Christ

Image
Behold the sea of starlight broad,     Beyond our highest thought. Behold the mighty hand of God     Its length and breadth allot. Look now! That hand scoops up the dust     And shapes a masterpiece, As angels watch with voices hushed     Each lineament released. Behold again, this mighty hand     Outstretched to set them free Who years had slaved in Egypt’s land,     But now salvation see. Then watch that hand appear as flame,     Engraving in the stone The law expressing His own name     And timeless as His throne. But what is this? A tiny hand     'Round mother’s finger wrapped! Oh Earth, why would a love so grand     Your darkest town attract? Young hands are bearing water, wood,     The hammer, and the saw, Rejoicing still in servanthood     As when they traced th...

Witness

Image
In the palace of the high priest stands a Captive, Bound behind His back the kindest hands to live. Frenzied priests are searching madly for a witness To condemn the One who's healed all kinds of sickness. Those arise and testify who do not know Him, Bear false witness, with conclusiveness but dim. One by one each testimony of what He said Makes it clear a faithful witness now is needed. Oh disciple, rise and testify for Jesus! You who know the One who pledged to never leave us, Why sit silent in the crowd of unbelievers? Light of Truth will...

Genesis 24 - A Study on Prayer

Image
Artist Unknown Genesis chapter 24, the story of Abraham's servant Eliezar finding a wife for Isaac, is laced with a rich study on prayer. Faith in the Promise Gen. 24:7—Abraham recounts God's sure promise  and assures Eliezar that he would have success in his journey, evidencing a rock-solid faith . Faith in God's promise without a shred of doubt is the basis of true prayer. See Heb. 11:6. Pray Before Work Gen. 24:12— Before beginning his work, the faithful servant prays. "Every morning take time to begin your work with prayer. Do not think this wasted time; it is time that will live through eternal ages. By this means success and spiritual victory will be brought in. The machinery will respond to the touch of the Master’s hand. God’s blessing is certainly worth asking for, and the work cannot be done aright unless the beginning is right. The hands of every worker must be strengthened, his heart must be purified, before the Lord can use him effectively....
