Concealed Things Exposed

I never know when it will happen but happen it does. Suddenly without warning in the midst of a personal experience that small still voice of the Holy Spirit is heard and then the  down load of information begins.

Sometimes it is within a daily routine that I have experienced forever. A small seemingly insignificant blip occurs out of the oridinary ... I see something that my eyes have missed for as long as only the Lord knows how long!

Let me explain, this morning I woke, got up, put on my robe, stepped out of the bedroom door making my way to the kitchen walking the path I take ever morning ... and in an instant my eye catches the tiniest quick flash of light on the floor next to the baseboard on the wall to my left just a few feet ahead of my steps.

It happen so fast that I lost its location because I had passed whatever it was that caught the light quickly ... but my mind was intrigued and I had to know what caught my eye!

I had to back up two three times and re-trace my steps each time to catch it again ... there is a reason for this and it is not because of my aging eye sight. I had to find my original steps again on the daily path I take so that the light which exposed the tiny sliver of glass (from a broken picture frame that fell off that wall a year or so ago) and my line of sight would once again line up correctly. Only then could I catch the play of light on the otherwise invisible object.

Immediately the Holy Spirit began teaching ... Only when light is present can the hidden object be revealed. Only when my steps aline on the path of my journey correctly, that is to be in alinement with the light upon the object,  will I be able to see the otherwise invisible object. An object that needed to be revealed, apprehended, and removed from the path so as not to endanger myself or others.

Truth, a tiny sliver of glass can be painful on contact. If it becomes embedded in the foot or heel, it can cause difficulty in walking due to its presence and if untended, infection will set in and well I could spend some time here on how I have personal knowledge and experience with embedded slivers of glass in flesh. I will spare you the details.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of a verse of scripture Matthew 10:26:

“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known."

In reading the whole of that chapter you will get the context ... the Lord is speaking to the twelve disciples sending them out to the towns and people of Israel. He warns them He is sending them as sheep among wolves. Their journey will not be easy. Why? Because they have aligned with Him, who is Light, and as it is for the teacher so shall it be for the students for the students are not above the teacher.

The Teacher needed the Holy Spirit to guide His steps so as daily to be correctly aligned with Light so that things hidden in darkness and otherwise invisible to sight, but none the less dangerous, could be revealed. How much more do we students need the Holy Spirit to guide us on our daily journey to stay line up correctly with the Light.

Isaiah 9:2 reads: "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned."

Lets us walk in the Light.
