Yesterday's light is today's beacon
Soul Snack 213/10 ... Christmas' Light Switch
Beacons are sentinels for safety. They invite the wayfarer, the ignorant and the weary to a place of refuge. Beacons are the time honored messenger that pens comes to me.
Christmas is God's annual beacon. It is His lighthouse beaming on a world that still approaches ship-wreck and even is dangerously dashed upon the rocky shorelines.
Christmas shines brightly from the only God of Heaven -- it glows:
I still love,
I still see,
I still serve,
I am still interested,
I am not remote,
I am still available,
I still sit on the Throne of Grace
I still give peace and
I still act for your well-being.
Two millenia ago heaven's beacon first shone from the straw of a manger. God set this straw alight as He switched on the Light of the World. Burning so brightly to this day, it remains the place of refuge for all who will follow its shine.
Yesterday's bright light is still today's best beacon.
The true light that gives light to everyone has come into the world. (Jn 1:9 - GT ed.)
