And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star shines in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19 (NASB)
One star glistens in the black doom of smothering sky.
One lonely light. The only light in the heavens shatters a world of darkness. Abandoned by the millions that shone hours before, this one blazes thousands of miles from those who draw courage from its steadfast warmth, like a blaze on a cold night or an embrace in a sea of loneliness. No darkness can quench it and no cloud will smother it. It is the light that flickers between lights; between a canopy of stars and the buried sun.
Suspended in transition, it is a lamp that welcomes a greater light, burning with comfort from the cold night and a promise of the coming day. It is fixed as a guide for those on earth. Light has come: it is already here. In the twilight before daybreak, the morning star glistens like the hope of the earth in a breathless statement: Dawn will come. Our God never forsakes His people.
In the twilight of time, between lights, He sent a morning star: His son Jesus.
Lord, I thank you for Your hope that preserves my faith in Your goodness so I am a sky never forsaken by Light.
