Good Morning,
The new week is here and the and tomorrow will be the start of a new month. I just poured myself a hot mug of Door County Highlander Grog Coffee and now it is time to write.
I have said it more than once that our two Springer Spaniels have some peculiar habits. Yesterday while writing my blog, I was sitting in our second story den and as the sun was coming up in the East. It illuminated the room with a full dose of daylight. I wish I would have had a camera to capture a photo. Both dogs positioned themselves in the bright light coming through the window. The were absorbing the sunshine and the heat generated from the sun and the glass. Both of them cuddled next to each other and just took full advantage of the sunshine.
My goal for today is this. Many people walk in spiritual darkness. Now both dogs have full access to everywhere in the house. But they had to make a choice to move from a comfortable bed in the living room to the den to sit in the light and bask in it's warmth. They went up a flight of stairs and sought out the best spot in the house for sunshine in the morning.
We all too often walk in the darkness of life, just hoping that someone will lead us to the light. But, in many instances, even when having someone lead us to the way, we continue to stay in the darkness and not move toward that light.
James4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Our two dogs chose to bask in the sunshine and they were not disappointed. They slept content on the floor. I did however observe that as the sun moved the dogs moved with it. Once the sun was in the West they were repositioned to receive the warmth and comfort it brought. They desired to be in the sun. They made sure to travel with it.
Do you desire to be in the light today? God promises that when we seek Him out and draw near to Him, He draws nearer to us. Make that first move and experience God, knowing that He desires to be close to you. You are as close to God as you choose to be.
Marty
