Jesus our Light!

“I am the light of the world.” John 8:12

Last night I was in the upper floor in my cabin at the campsite to cleanup the area. The space is limited and so it was not easy for me to move around. While I was cleaning up the area I heard a buzz and I freaked out. It was a huge wasp buzzing around my ears!

My instinct was to run away but I couldn’t. I had to protect my family! So I grabbed something to hit with and I waited my moment for the wasp to sit on top of the ceiling. But the wasp got smart. It flew around here and there but finally it started flying around the light bulb!

When the wasp would fly right in the middle of the bulb I could not see it because the light was too bright. It would just disappear from my eyes and I would only see it when it would fly away from the light bulb. Eventually I was able to catch it.

I was just fascinated that I couldn’t see the wasp when it would pass by the light because it was too bright. That reminded me of Jesus. Jesus is the light. And when we are in Jesus we can be invisible from the Enemy. That thought just flashed by in my mind last night as I was trying to ‘kill’ the wasp.

Let us focus on Jesus. When we are apart from Jesus we are open targets, but when we secure ourselves under Jesus who is our light, then I know I am safe.
