Number Seven

           

The image of a lighthouse attracts me. As waves pound upon the rocks and sand below, the lighthouse stands firm upon the solid rock it rests upon. Its light shines brightly out to sea and serves as a path for those caught in turbulent storms and snares of life.

            Likewise, our Heavenly Father stands firm upon His Heavenly throne, and the light of His Son, Jesus, spreads His rescue life rope to all who call upon Him. One example of this marvelous rescue is described in Psalm 107: 23 – 32.  Men of the sea marvel at its majesty, but when the storms arise, they panic and call upon the LORD for help. The LORD responds and guides them safely to shore.

            Another verse from Isaiah 60 also presents a lighthouse image for me. Verse 19 states, “The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.”

 In the quiet I envision a lighthouse sending out God’s glory 24/7.   Thanks be to God for His everlasting light!
