Saturday night, our grandson spent the night. Greyson has great fun at Marmie’s and
Granddaddy’s house. He doesn’t have to
eat what he doesn’t want to eat, and he doesn’t have to do what he doesn’t want
to do … within reason. He did have to
pick up the Legos spilled all over the basement floor … but Granddaddy
helped. We raced to see who could pick
up the Lego’s first. He won. Poor little sucker. After a bath and prayers, Greyson went to
bed. But he wanted me to leave the lamp
on. He said that he would feel better if
I left it on. Hmm. Isn’t it a comfort to have a lamp on? Oh, I remember those days well, don’t
you? Do you still sleep with a light
on? Not judging, just asking. So why is it that we feel comforted when we
leave a lamp on? We know that all the
doors are locked. We know that we are
safe. Well, of course, there are many scary
things in the dark. Things that we
cannot see. We don’t know what they are,
because we can’t see them, but we just know that they’re there. But a lamp left on reveals that there isn’t
anything there. A lamp dispels darkness
and reveals only peace and comfort and security. King David nailed it when he said in Psalm
119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” God’s Word is a comfort to us and gives us
peace and comfort and security. God’s
Word dispels the darkness in our lives. That
is if we read it. Hey, why not read it
right now? It’s much better than reading
Facebook. Really.
