I was walking around the square in Murfreesboro with Jennifer. She wanted me to take pictures of some of the flowers and signs around it.



We got some pretty cool shots but as we turned the corner, we observed the sun going down.



After taking a few shots, we observed the setting sun peak through the trees. All I could think of was that at the beginning of creation God created light. Here we stood 6000+ years later staring at the same sun God created long ago. Through all man's mistakes, man's triumphs, man's excess, and man's torment - the simple truth of the sun still remains.

In a spiritual sense the "light" is just as constant. Jesus describes himself as the "Light" in this world of darkness in the book of John. At times, we have looked to other things in this world as our light or our guide. Sometimes we have even looked at ourselves. We might as well as rely on a candle to light our spiritual life as it will quickly burn away and we are left standing in darkness.

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)"

"James Allen, in his book, As A Man Thinketh, said, "Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put in, then an abundance of useless weed seeds fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind". Our thoughts are important! Jesus taught that our lives are but our thoughts turned inside out, Luke 6:45. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," is the way the Old Testament writer said it. If you are what your thoughts make you, then you can transform and upgrade your life by improving the way you think..."

Read the rest of this article to learn just a bit more about this topic. There are so many great studies in our Bible Study section. This is one that just struck me as needing to be emphasized today.

Maybe you can go from this (just picking on your Rachel- don't hate me).....
