DARKNESS
Today's reading: Amos 4-6

"For the Lord is the one who shaped the mountains, stirs up the winds, and reveals his every thought. He turns the light of dawn into darkness and treads the mountains under his feet. The Lord God Almighty is his name!" Amos 4:13 NLT

"It is the Lord who created the stars, Pleiades and Orion. It is he who turns darkness into morning and day into night. It is he who draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The Lord is his name!" Amos 5:8 NLT

Darkness-devoid of light; not receiving, reflecting, transmitting or radiating light; arising from or showing evil traits or desires.

When I think of the control and power God has, I am in awe.

Darkness to light?

It's more than a flip of the switch and the room is lit up. It's producing the light that chases darkness back into its corner, hole or cave.

It's more than exposing truths for what they are. It is knowing the hearts, holding the future, ordaining the circumstances.

It's much more than 'making do' with the cards dealt. It is following a plan set in order before time began, calendars were invented or clocks began ticking.

And I attempt to do it on my own? Without regard for His leading? His instruction? Seeking His will for me?
