The Light Beacon

Every now and then things happen in life that cause us hurt, or struggle, or go through trials. Sometimes you even feel like a cargo ship being constantly thrown around by the sea. No matter how much effort you put in you still drift off course. You eventually feel completely lost and you feel like you'll forever be out in the middle of this storm. Then out of nowhere, but just in time, you see a light. A light that tells you "This is the right path to take. This is how I'll steer you clear of danger. This is how I'll keep you safe." It's the lighthouse high up on the rocky cliff. It comes to your rescue and safely guides you into the port.

The storm of life can be like this. You feel like that cargo ship and you fear that you'll never make it out alive. But if we trust God then we can know that God will always become our light beacon to guide us through the storm and bring us out safely.

God will always be there for you, and He never leaves you even if it's you who runs the other direction. God saved Jonah from the belly of the whale. God saved Shadrack, Meshiak, and Abendigo from the fiery furnace. God saved David from Goliath. But you know what, they also believed that God would save them. They believed that God would always be helping them in life and would never leave their side. They believed that God saves.

Next time when you become that cargo ship remember that God saves and that you can trust in Him to become that lighthouse at the right moment, and send out its light beacon to steer you clear of the rocky cliffs - to deliver you safely into the harbor.

Blessings!!!!!
