Confident Even in the Darkness

Try this:

Put on your sunglasses at night.

What?!? You want me to do what?

You do something similar all the time. Have you gotten up at night to get a drink from the kitchen and made it there and back without turning on the lights?

Even reaching for a light switch in the dark … and finding it every time. That counts, too.

Our minds record what’s where in our living room (or the location of the switch on the wall). It’s called spatial memory. We know the distance from one item to another and where each item is located. Only when something has been moved do we stumble and fall.

Our Christian life is the same. When we surround ourselves with God, we can walk confidently with him no matter what’s happening in the natural world.

2 Corinthians 5:7 in the KJV says:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Sunglasses on. The darkness doesn’t matter. We know exactly where God is, and we can trust him to be exactly where we need him to be exactly when he needs to be there.
