I am going to try to post in my blog again....it has been a long time since I have done this. I have a couple of friends on Facebook that have said that they want to see more writing from the person's perspective than just quoting authors all the time. So, I am going to attempt to do this again. So here are my thoughts today:
For those of you who know me even semi-well, know that I love lighthouses. A lighthouse sits, often on a rugged cliff, so that people can see its light and be guided by it. Without the light of a lighthouse many would have perished in storms, fog, and turbulent waters. Without that light or the foghorn, many would have been lost, drifted off course or never made it home. Many sailors were glad to see the light of a lighthouse and to hear the blows of the horn. They could have chosen to look the other way, to pay no attention to the light, to turn a deaf ear to the horn; but that would would have been costly.
Thinking about this last night, I was reminded that in life, we need a Lighthouse too. Through the many storms in our lives, we do have a Lighthouse, all we need to do is look up for His light. It's there. God is my Lighthouse. God will guide our way; but like the sailors on the ocean, we have a choice. We can look the other way; to pretend we don't hear God speaking to us; but that will be costly for us as well.
Am I looking to the Light? Am I listening for God's voice? Or am I choosing to turn away from the Light and turning a deaf ear to his voice? Like the sailors on the ocean, if we choose to see the Light and listen to his voice to guide us, He will guide us safely home. It may not be easy. We may still have rough seas in our lives; but with the Light of the Lighthouse, and listening to His voice to guide our way, we will make it safely home.
"God, help me to choose to follow Your light and to listen to Your voice through whatever storms may come my way."
