I get great thoughts (well okay, great-for-me kind of thoughts) in two places: the bathroom and in bed right before I go to sleep. Now I’ll leave the first one alone, but the second one is a pretty consistent source of insights. It appears when I am almost asleep, I must finally get out of God’s way and can hear fresh, God kind of thoughts.
1 John 1:7 says “if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin.” My just-about-asleep thought had a phrase attached with it. It went, “Steve you need to walk in the light, while living in the dark.” Sometimes I think I’m in the dark a lot. I don’t understand Tweeking (drug reaction I think) or Twittering or whatever the T word is. I feel about a half step slow (I’m 50, be nice) these days. Yet in this thought I realized being in the dark is not the problem; no one knows everything or can keep up with everything or “get” everything. What counts is whether I am walking in the Light of Christ with what I do know and understand.
So are you walking in the light, while living in the dark? Or would you describe your walk in this life and with God differently?
