Great Stories! One perspective…
What follows is a conversation that took place many years ago in a far away place. But if we listen carefully to what is being said, we may find ourselves in that same place at this current time.
It is like in the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why. Folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back. Only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding to something. There is some good in this world and it’s worth fighting for.
By now you have probably guessed that this was part of a conversation between Sam and Frodo in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. You may not recognize this time of our as a “darkness” that we are fighting our way through. Remember that you who are of the faith and believe in Christ and His Word are a light in this darkness. Let not the evil keep us from telling the truth both loudly and clearly. For many are not seeking the truth and few are uncovering it. But don’t let that be said of you most valiant of warriors!
Once To Every Man and Nation
Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some new decision,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.
Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet ‘tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own.
James Russell Lowell, 1845

A Life Full of Light
The verses above come from a rich vein of truth found in God’s Word (the Bible). Here we are expected to diligently study our Bible for this to become true in our own experience. But what do we mean by ‘diligently’ study?
Your study of Holy Scripture must show great care and a persistent effort. I’m afraid that this is not simply a daily devotional reading that many of us have practiced for years. In this type of study, you give time for the Holy Spirit to teach you. One of His roles is to lead you into all truth. Such a diligent study of Scripture gives you the ability to rightly divide the Word of God as Paul spoke of to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:15.
I know that you may be thinking that you don’t have time; perhaps some time later which never seems to come. Yes, been there and done that. You’re doing okay right now why worry. Keep in mind a contrasting verse from a Proverbs 28:26, “He that trusts in his own heart is a fool…” So don’t be a fool, be committed to the Lord totally. Be one of the minority who reads and searches God’s Word thoroughly. Ask questions! There are not many who do so today.
So ask yourself, as I ask myself, am I fully committed to God? Is His Word a priority in my life? Is my whole life full of light or does some darkness remain? I wish you well on your journey.
If Circumstances were Different, Would Any of Us be Different?
Days are coming when this question will be relevant to many. Let’s follow the lie and then the truth laid out by the author below.
Lie: If circumstances makes us who we are, then we are a victim of our circumstances. If a victim, then we are not really responsible. In other words, we simply cannot help the way we are.
However in reality, God says we are responsible for our actions regardless of the circumstances. It is not the failures of others, but for our own responses and lives that is our responsibility.
Truth: our circumstances merely reveal what we are.
Truth: if we are not content within our present circumstances, we are not likely to be happy in any other set of circumstances.
Truth: we can trust a wise, loving, sovereign God to control every circumstance of our lives.
Truth: “Joy, peace, and stability come from believing that every circumstance that touch’s our lives has first been filtered through His fingers of love and is part of a great, eternal plan that He is working out in this world and in our lives.”
