The Most Spectacular Light Show
My most memorable night flight was years ago while cruising just south of Greenland. The darkest dark is over the ocean at midnight. It seemed so eerie. The only sound was from the engines, and the only light was from the instruments. Unexpectedly, the horizon began to illuminate through our left side windows. Soon, the northern night skies put on the most spectacular light show imaginable. The aurora borealis! Flowing ribbons of multicolored light draped the horizon and stretched as high as we could see. A bored crew with tired eyes became awed spectators of one of nature’s most indescribable displays. What a welcomed relief from the ubiquitous darkness.
God’s creation displays its most splendid sights by the medium of light. Think of the rainbows, the sun, the moon, and the stars. How about lightning? Light gets our attention and leaves us spellbound. On the other hand, darkness is boring, constraining, and depressing. God describes Himself as light and Satan as darkness. In that comparison, we see God as beautiful, exciting, liberating, and motivating. Yet so many people choose darkness. Live in the light!
