The light of the Lord
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house. In Your light we see light. Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You.
Psalm 36:7,9b - NKJV
In the heat of the moment your problem will project itself bigger than it really is! The devil loves to exaggerate the issues. He hypes up the negatives. He wants to create a strong emotional reaction in you that will take you and all your attention over. His strategy is to get you buried in your earthly emotional reactions to the problem. He counts on it that you'll then fail to see the solutions that God has prepared ahead of time for you.
The solution to the problem is usually right before you. It will have been put there by God for you because you are His child. You're just having trouble seeing it. Why? One reason is often that your emotional reaction to the problems has got you in its grip. As a result of this, you have lost your ability to see the light of the answer that God has set before you. What can you do? You must reject and retreat from your soulish outburst! Instead you must run into God's presence to find Him as your refuge.
In God's presence you will see solutions! In God's light you'll see light - the light you need! How's this going to happen? 1) Stop yourself being dragged along with the helter-skelter of your reaction to the problems. 2) Command your soul to set your problems down a moment while you turn aside into fellowship with God. 3) Worship and praise God until you know God's presence find yourself totally bathed in His light.
In God's light you'll see the solutions!
