Light Up the Sky!

As I sit on this “deck of peace” looking out over the mountains and the partly clearing skies, I see on one of the distant mountain ranges a group of what looks like residential homes. Even though we could see this range on Thursday and Friday, we could not see any homes. Last night we did see lights there which revealed the evidence of home life.

If you look closely in this picture, you will see the white homes which became evident today because of the sunlight shining down on them. When the clouds returned, we could not see them.

As I was soaking in God’s message, the song “Light Up the Sky” by The Afters began playing. The words just seemed to fit the moment. (Thanks, God!)

When I'm feeling all alone

There's so far to go

The signs are no where on this road

Guiding me home

When the night is closing in

It's falling on my skin

Oh God will you come close?

Light light light up the sky

You light up up the sky to show me

That you are with me

I can't deny

No I can't deny

That you are right here with me

You've opened my eyes

So I can see you all around me

Your love is rushing in

So I run, straight into your arms

You're the bright and morning sun

God opened the sky for His Son-Light to show me what I couldn’t see before - He is right here with me. If His light is not shining in and through me, it means I have spiritual blindness. What is that?? It is a "condition that an individual has when they are unable to see God, or understand His message. We must remember that Jesus is our light, and cling to His truth so that we are never blinded to God."

There are times when I can’t see or understand. My spiritual eyes need to be opened again as I move beyond the lusts of the flesh. Grieving is very important but just know that God will give you ways or people to keep you balanced and remembering that He is your focus and will never leave you nor forsake you!! His light is in me and you, and He is reminding me of that fact. He is always with and in me.

When I reached this point in this message, the following song began to play:

“You Will Be Praised” by Darlene Zschech

Though I walk through darkest valleys

There's no fear for You are with me

You have held me through the fire

Jesus You are here with me

Even when my heart grows weary

You are my hiding place

And Your kindness draws me closer

I will rest here in Your strength

You will be praised

Here with You my cup runs over

You are everything I need

There is nothing like Your presence

You are the song I sing

For You have been my portion

You are my hiding place

Oh my soul will praise

In the darkest of nights

Oh my soul will praise

I will bless Your name

With all of my strength

I will bless your name

I thank God for this place, its quietness, and His timing to reveal these messages to me. I pray that others will find them helpful as well. What an orchestration by God this morning!

Thanks for stopping by,
