PAY ATTENTION TO THE LIGHT!
A ship captain peered into the dark night and saw faint lights in the distance. Immediately he told his signalman to send out a message, “Alter your course 10 degrees south.”
Promptly a return message was received, “Alter your course 10 degrees north.”
The captain was angered because his command had been
ignored. So he sent a second message, “Alter
your course 10 degrees south—this is the captain!”
Soon another message was received, “Alter your course 10 degrees north--I am seaman third class Jones.” Immediately the captain sent a third message, knowing the fear it could evoke, “Alter your course 10 degrees south—this is a battleship!”
The unexpected reply came hurriedly, “Alter your course 10 degrees north—this is a lighthouse!”
My friend, likely it’s been your personal experience that In the midst of dark and foggy times, all sorts of voices are shouting orders into your night, telling you what to do and how to adjust your life. However, in the darkness one voice signals something quite opposite to the rest--something that sometimes might even seem absurd. But that voice happens to be the Light of the World, and we ignore it at our own peril. Pay attention to The Light!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
