“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it’s light; The stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send His angles, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.” Mark 13:24-27

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” mk. 13; 33

This morning as I read Mark 13 and then gazed out the window to see the sun come over the trees and houses. I thought of the verses above. I knew the sun would rise, because there was a glow beaming from It’s existance. I knew the place it would rise because It’s glow was brighter right over the horizon. I beheld it’s beauty as it made It’s way above to illuminate all in It’s path, to let the world know it is the light.

Then I thought about the true Light that would come into the earth and how the sun would be darkened and would not be seen, but instead the marvelous, glorious light will arise. But before that there needs to be a glow. Roll with me here… I knew that the sun was coming because of its glow over the horizon, I had not seen it, But I knew it was coming. I think that we as followers of Christ are that glow, or at least we should be. We need to be, like John the baptist, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.'” Preparing the way of the Lord. We need to be telling people about the light, displaying the glow of the light for when He comes. Is our lives, our walk or words and thoughts a glow, a reflection of Christ?! I know that mine are not. But, Lord I desire to be in the light FOREVER, as You are in the light.
