Devotional Day 2, Monday, March 15th, 2010
From the Black of Night
Psalm 18:28 ~ The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
Whenever I land at an airport at night, I think of the story told about a friend who piloted his single-engine airplane toward a small country airport as the sun dipped behind the mountains.
Dusk settled quickly and quietly, and as lights blinked on in houses below, the man could barely make out the airstrip in the distance. By the time he maneuvered his craft closer for a landing, the black pavement was indistinguishable from the black of night.
His little place was not equipped with lights, and the airport employees had left for the day. There was no one he could even radio for help. Circling the dark airport, hoping against hope that his gas wouldn’t run out. Yet as the needle of the fuel gauge nosed to empty, he knew that at any moment he could plummet from the sky to a certain death. His heart beat loudly, and he wondered what death would feel like.
As his panic clenched tighter, a miracle happened Someone on the ground had heard the plane circling aimlessly in the dark and had guessed the pilot’s predicament. Hopping into his car, the mane flashed on his brights and raced back and forth to illuminate the airstrip. And then he parked his vehicle at the far end of the runway and let his beams of light guide the pilot down for a safe landing.
There have been many times when darkness has crept into my life and I have been enveloped in the kind of panic that gripped the errant pilot. Perhaps you know the feeling too. You face a hopeless tangle of problems at home, school, and work. Your future seems clouded. Favorite sins and bad habits nag at your mind. Maybe someone close to you had died or been divorced, throwing more shadows across your life. Everything seems black.
It’s at the blackest of moments that God wants to light your path. That light may simply be the assurance that he’s in control. While things may not always improve immediately, he enables you to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Prayer:
Dear God – Thank you that your Word is the lamp for our feet and the light for the path ahead. Let the light of your Spirit shine to many people; reveal yourself to us.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
