Look for the light
After dinner one night, a tiny brown sparrow flew inside our house through the front door. A chase ensued. Each time my husband got near to it, the little intruder fluttered away in a desperate search for an exit. Before we could escort it safely outside, the bird toured the house so frantically that we could see its chest throbbing from its rapid heartbeat.
The only thing left to do was turn the light off inside, open the door and turn the light on outside
Sometimes we are like that little bird—anxious, frazzled, and afraid of what might happen next. It comforts me to think that “not one [sparrow] falls to the ground” without God knowing about it (Matt. 10:29). He sees and knows everything in our world. He has promised not to allow more to come on us than we can bear; but will, with every trial, make a way of escape. (1cor 10:13)
There are times when God has to turn the light off in our lives so he can show us the way . As long as we have the light to comfort us we will refuse to move, even when we are uncomfortable.
