Glory
Lights!
They will not need the light of a lamp
or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.
Revelation 22:5
Mitch was still getting used to his new
‘Smart Phone’, the texting features in particular. So when he
sent a text to his wife, Marie, “is ur moms power back on?” he
was confused when he received several texts asking, “Who’s mom?”
and “I didn’t know my Mom’s power was out!” and “Is this a
joke? I’m at my Mom’s and the power never went out!”
Realizing his error, Mitch sent another
text apologizing and explaining he’d been trying to contact his
wife to see if her mother’s power had been restored and he’d used
the wrong text ‘thread’. Marie’s name had been the first name
on a mass text he’d sent earlier in the day and he assumed it was
perfectly fine to just continue using that thread to communicate with
his wife. Right now he was glad his mistake hadn’t been about
something personal!
Just as he finished sending the apology
text another reply from the initial thread came in: “My Mom and Dad
have glory lights! Power always on! NEVER goes off!!!”
Realizing it had come from their close
friend, Beulah, Mitch texted back, “Cute!!! U R a quick one aren’t
ya!” He laughed. What a great sense of humor! Beulah’s
parents had passed away years before and had been with Jesus for some
time now. They definitely are never in the dark!

With our finite minds it’s almost
impossible to imagine a world lit by Some One, and not some thing.
But this is exactly what Jesus told John as evidenced in today’s
text (pun intended).
1Corinthians 2:9 says, “No eye has
seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared
for those who love him…” That God created the sun to provide the
perfect circumstances that cause life to flourish in His physical
absence is but one grain of sand on the beaches of Heaven. I don’t
know about you, but I can’t wait to see what mysteries those other
grains of sand unlock!
Prayer
“May You forever be my
guiding Light and Power Source, Father God. And although I can’t
truly imagine what it will be like on the day you set up Your Kingdom
on Earth, I await it with delightful anticipation! Amen!”
