Tiny Lights

    Too much light is blinding. The same goes for too little. We need just enough to see the next step. For a long time, wisdom has been referred to as light, and it operates the same way. That's why I researched a few tiny lights, so you don't have to. Hopefully,  they'll be a help. So if that sounds good, let's get into it! 

    So, this might seem like shameless self promotion, but it's really not. Saint Augustine said something that I won't quote in full here, but the point was that he didn't dare ask to see more than the next step, the next move. Many other theologians believe that God doesn't show us His full plan, as that would be too much for us. With that in mind, we should instead try to find just enough "light," or, wisdom. Whether you like reading Augustine, John Piper, or me, look for something that you can consult, to help you believe.

      Now, that's just one light. Or, I guess, one place we need wisdom?  But another is in relationships. Of course, they're not all romantic but because it's easy, I'll explain with those. Hollywood shows us dramatic gestures,  leading to happy endings. But in reality, to quote a poet, love is more an ember than a blaze. A small, steady glow that gets you home. Biblical instances can be found in The Song of Solomon, or Jacob courting Rebecca. 

    So, you might be detecting a theme here. These are all elements of wisdom. And they're not especially profound or dramatic. Still, they're no less signignificant. Which is why they need attention every day. And while it might be obvious, the next is prayer. Although, slightly less obvious might be why. You probably heard that The Spirit uses a still small voice. But sometimes, it's so small, you're not sure what you heard. But He's patient, and if we keep asking, the Father will faithfully guide us. Nothing was hidden that won't be revealed. (Luke 8:17)

I hope that blessed you. For a little more, check out voiceintha on blogspot, facebook, X, and instagram       Thanks!
