I decided to
go for a walk tonight. As I was walking God
reminded me that when I was younger, I was horribly afraid of the dark. Yet, here I am now walking after dark and
loving it. There is something almost calming about watching the night come
alive; the crickets singing and the fireflies and stars lighting up the night. I’m not sure when I stopped being afraid of
the dark, but tonight as I was walking; I realized two things that made me see
how silly it was for me to be scared.
There was nothing in the dark that was not in the light. I know that
sounds funny, but it is true. The other thing I realized was that God was the
same during the day as he was at night.
He didn't change or go anywhere.
If I could trust him during the day with what I could see, then I could
trust him at night with what I could not see. What an amazing truth! The God of
the Universe does not change. He is the
same today as he was yesterday, and He will be the same tomorrow. God is always
the same. We can trust him with what we can’t see as well as what we can
see. Praise God for a constant in a sea

As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor. I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong. That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him. I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit. If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink. We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others. As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
