Light in the Storm
“I am the Light of the World” ~ John 8:12
To those who observe with a knowing eye and an understanding heart, the natural world is rich with allegories of profound spiritual truths. A Light in the Storm is a visual analogy to Jesus’ proclamation.
The ocean here is wild with the fury of the storm – waves break and toss in violent chaos. Above, a mighty thunderhead looms; its menace seems to fill and dominate the entire sky. Who has not experienced a time when the troubles and sorrows of life seemed as overwhelming and inescapable as this brooding cloud and its angry sea? And yet, the message of A Light in the Storm is entirely different, and rich in consolation.
Storm clouds blow away but the rock of the faith endures. And the light of truth, symbolized by the secure lighthouse tower with its penetrating beam, is a certain guide. This lighthouse will lead many a ship to safe harbor in the storm. And the light of God’s truth will guide those of us who venture out on life’s stormy seas to the safety of His eternal love.
