It's Friday and we have been promised some sunshine by the weather people......like they know! This is not the Nebraska I know and love. When I get up in the morning I wonder if we moved to Seattle and I was asleep.....or Seattle came to Lincoln.
As I have been reading in Mark I wonder if the Pharisees kind of felt that way when Jesus showed up on the scene. They had things going their way and had manipulated the law for their own good. They were in control of everything.....and then Jesus came and began to expose their motives and what they were doing. He let His light shine down on them...so to speak...and they were in the spotlight of exposure!
And it didn't help when He began doing all those miracles...delivering people of their demons and healing the deaf.
If we are truely to be Jesus in our invironment then we are going to be the ones that can't live in the middle of darkness and people will be uncomfortable around us....and that shouldn't disturb us. Our environment will look different and the more darkeness rules the earth the more we are going to stand out as being in the light.
Jesus in the middle of things changes our environment.
Are you feeling like things are too 'normal' and God is trying to shake up your world? Let Him! It's a good thing. When the sun shines every day I don't think about the weather much but when it rains every day I begin to think about it. Let Jesus be in the middle of your day. Let Him use you to speak a word of healing to someone.....bring hope to someone.....love on someone in His Name. Bring His Light into the world around you!
Have a wonderful weekend.....go to church.....take someone with you! Maybe the sun will shine!!!!
