Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

      Remember, light dispels darkness .
      We live and walk in obedience, trusting the Lord to take care of things obviously beyond human control.
     But we also must learn to let Him take the things that could easily seem to be controllable.  This covers our tendency to point out the faults of others, our desperate flailings to guarantee control over finances and the tales we tell to each other in an attempt to influence relationships.
     Many things around us are either quashed or gloriously released by the measure of light in our lives.
     When the One who is Light has freedom in a life of a Soldier of the Cross, that Soldier will be consumed with Him, and will be paying more attention to Him than to the problem at hand.
     People are never a small issue and there must be much affirmative attention given in many cases - but there is a spiritual principle that is demonstrated when a candle is lit in a dark room - no longer can the darkness control, and it can't stand up to and is not equal to the Light.
