As
I kneel in my garden, pulling tenacious blades of grass from the Thyme, I find
myself humming along to a song that is in my head, “By the Light”, by the
group, Harvest Sound.
With
each utterance of the verse, “By the light of my Jesus, my soul will rise” I
find that the laborious job I am doing is not just about completing a task but
changing the atmosphere where I live. I
am removing items from my Thyme that can strangle the very life out of it, if
allowed, and as I focus on the truth in the words I sing, the duty at hand does
not seem as daunting, in fact it is quite rewarding.
How
many times does the cares of this world, steal away the preciousness of the
moment. We are not guaranteed tomorrow,
we may only have today, so as we go through this life, which can at times be
filled with some of the most obstinate weeds ever, we must remember to fix our
eyes on the Light of the world, for in doing that, our souls will rise above
the mundane, and allow us to soar like eagles upon the very breath of God,
reaching heights unknown.
Someone
was playing the radio that day. The Holy Spirit, who wanted to show me a simple
truth. Thank You Father for ears to hear
and a heart to receive what You were saying to me.
