Dark

Have you ever turned all the lights out in a room and when you first turn them off you cant see anything at all clearly? Have you noticed as you continue to sit there it seems to get lighter and you can see a little better and if you try hard enough eventually you will be able to see through the dimness. This is a great example of how the Devil tricks us into believing our darkness is actually not so bad. I can't tell you how many times in my life I have done things knowing they were wrong and at first I feel horrible thinking of how wrong it is but the more I do it the more comfortable I get in that wrong and then it doesn't seem so bad. The world is definitely designed that way and our flesh adjusts to our sins easily but if you notice even when you are in that dark room and your eyes adjust where you can see a tad bit better....you will still move slowly and run into things here and there until you finally turn the lights on. We are the same way in our sin. We move around about our lives ok, making it but all the while slowing down our blessings. We try to get comfy cozy in out dark ways but the Spirit keeps whispering to us that we are not living the way God intends to the point we are never fully comfortable until we correct that dark behavior.  Lets not get so comfortable walking in our darkness that we ignore that still small voice of righteousness and miss out on the great things God has for us in the light.
