WAITING FOR LIGHT – By Ron McGatlin
A tall thin man stands alone atop a dark rock mountain peak that pierces into clouds of darkness. Nothing in his hands or pockets. No satchel at his side. Without tool or weapon he stands alone in barren windswept darkness. He sees not a trace or flicker of light or hope. Only darkness greets his eyes from every direction. There is no one to stand by His side. No sound to stir his senses.
Only the thoughts in his soul and breath in his nostrils bear witness to his existence. He stands empty waiting hoping for the light to come taking him to heaven.
This is the ending of a life of climbing the mountain of natural human knowledge and “success” in seeking a good life without the Spirit of God, with only a hope of heaven and a wasted life on earth. A life sustained as a game of gain, of being number one, with pleasure of self and thrill of achievement and sport as its daily sustenance. An always very busy life with so many things to do but never enough time to truly get to know the reality of God in him and His purpose for his brief life on earth.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:39.
For whoever finds Me finds life, and obtains favor…. Proverbs 8:35
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33.
