Faith and Fireflies
As I walked Daniel tonight before bed I saw bright light twinkling all around him and toward me. I'm amazed at the beauty of these nocturnal creatures of light. I don't know the scientific reasons they light up, well, I do, but I don't care. They've been a kept secret between the Lord and I. I often ask him to show them to me when my emotions are too heavy. He's never failed to bring one into my view when I ask. It's not magic, it's faith. Faith is so misunderstood. I have often misunderstood it myself. I've heard preachers say it requires time in a "prayer closet", it takes specific words, no...that would be magic, wouldn't it. If God was moved by an incantation, wouldn't that mean the power of prayer was in my hands? Something to think about. I've been doing a great deal of praying this past week. I feel like I've reached a new level in my praying. Not because I'm more full of faith...whatever that mean...
