The best way for you and me to overcome our intimidation and fear of a hostile culture that surrounds us in our everyday lives is to keep our focus on the Lord and cultivate an awareness of His presence in our lives. Not too long ago, I found myself sitting in a select group of people who were very religious, very self assured, very articulate --- and very unsettling to me. As the discussion began, the sun came through the window, and I could feel it warming my face, almost blinding my eyes. When the conversation began to deteriorate into personal attack, I heard the still small voice of God speaking to my heart, saying, God is light; in him there is no darkness at all ... If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1:5,7) I knew God was affirming to me that I was in the light ... literally and figuratively. I dont say this in a manner to pat myself on the back or put myself above anyone else. I was acutely aware that He was with me, and my fears melted. So step into the light ... and stay there. Its a beautiful place to be! Where are you in this journey? Father God, Thank You for helping me to stay focused on You so that I can walk in the light. Help me to remain in the light where You desire me to be. Amen! When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12
