light. That said: Have you ever been deep in a cave--and the guide
turned the lights off?
When I experienced that, I tell you I seemed to FEEL the dark! I
could not see anything and did not dare move lest I step into a
hole, off a ledge, or into a wall. It was a very helpless feeling.
If the world as a whole could have a feeling right now, I think that
could describe it. And we have an opportunity to remind the world
that Jesus said, "I am the light of the world."
This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away
from the LORD. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not
see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of
the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. "But blessed is the
man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be
like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the
stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always
green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to
bear fruit." (Jer 17:5-8 NIV)
