A good friend of mine who I have lost touch with over the years, has fallen into darkness. He has always been a little eccentric; I just don’t know how he got involved with this evil Internet cult. His wife is a God fearing woman; she could not handle this change in him. This was very sad for her because of her faith but these changes were starting to border on violence toward her and the kids. She recently shared with me that over the past number of years he told her to not keep in contact with my wife and I because he was afraid of our faith. During the time we really hung out together, I was strong in my faith but I didn’t think I was that strong or I didn’t think my strength showed through as much as it did. I just figured that darkness scurries into the shadows when God’s light shines.
In my Bible study group, we were working through the passage PS 69:1-2. I read on a bit further and found a passage in PS 72:5-7 that explained the fear.
They shall fear You
As long as the sun and moon endure.
He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing.
Like showers that water the earth
In His days the righteous shall flourish
And abundance of peace
Until the moon is no more.
PS 72:5-7
The passage really spoke to me; as long as the sun and the moon endure, evil will always fear God’s light and His people who carry that light.
