So the Student Pastor, Matt Paxson, at my church Fairview at Riverclub, delivered a powerful message today about dreams. One of the things that stuck out most in my mind was Mark Batterson's phrase "You are the moon and God is the sun". The moon innately has no light of its own, it only shines the light that it gets from the Sun. God gives light to us and we are called to shine that light for Him! It made me think...we are supposed to be a reflection of the "Son"!...such an interesting play on words, right!? I will end this post with a passage of scripture that Matt also shared during his message. It spoke to me in a great way. I am part of an organization for suicide prevention and awareness called "Out of the Darkness". This passage reminds me that even in our times of darkness...God is still there! He will give us the strength to make it through.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:7-14
