I went to the show dressed in black with an attitude greater than my 5'5" frame. I pushed my way through the crowd into the mosh pit followed closely by my friend Matt (Matthew Whittington III) who was 6 foot two inches with a mile-high Mohawk.
I by attitude was backed up.
The music was blaring, we were moshing, and the bouncers were bouncing all the folks out the back door who tried to dive off the stage. I was hoisted overhead to crowd-surf much much like an inflatable beach ball at Jimmy Buffet concert and then they tried to toss me on stage.
The bouncers grabbed my head, the pit grabbed my feet and a tug-of-war ensued with me as the rope (across a wooden barrier I might add).
The pit won. I was pulled back to safety.
Do you have days like that?
This is what my life of faith is like to be honest.
I forget that I have an all powerful God who will go with me but I simply just go marching in. I can't help it, the dark just seems so dark these days that I'm desperate to run at it with something.
I feel as if I'm a birthday candle
in the deepest of space
Today I'm reminded that I am really only a birthday candle deep darkness but behind me is the Light of the World....and the darkness cannot overcome it.
I was snatched from death by Jesus, lifted up and placed on safe ground.
I ask you today, how is your candle doing? Don't try to light up the world. God has that covered. But do take what you have and light up what you can for his glory.
