This World of Shadows

This World of Shadows

8.20.15

"We walk in a world of shadows, where real things appear unreal and things of no consequence are sought after as eagerly as if they were made of the very gold that paves the streets of the City of God"

~ A.W. Tozer ~

2 Timothy 2:26 ...and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

It amazes me how quickly even we as Christians are drawn away from communion with our Lord.

The enemy knows us very well! He knows our weaknesses, he knows the minute we've let our guard down, and he never waits even a second before jumping in to take advantage and draw us away.  He colors things so beautifully that often we realize his deception too late.

He makes this world of shadows appear so bright!

Despite our enemies attempts to cloak his world of darkness with false light, I'm praying that you'll draw even closer to the Father of Lights today! The things of this world always grow strangely dim in the shadow of His light.

We must be intentional in starting our day with seeking the True Light. Today, the darkness closes in and we stand on a sandy foundation if we step out without having FIRST had fellowship with Him.

He is the answer! We would wonder how we fall so quickly, doubt so easily, give in to temptation so heartily.  I'm afraid the fault lies in our walk!

May you walk in HIS light today....the walk that always leads us away from this world of Shadows!

Seek His face before you face any other today!
