Glory Lights!
May 18
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!”
