Light of the World

On the way back from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas I was driving in the complete darkness for good 5~10 minutes. I was tired, nothing else to see, and plus my mother wasn’t too happy about complete darkness. Little bit after we saw a light shining from distant house. It was far away that it didn’t really matter to driving condition but it was bright enough to give warmth and hope to my mother and me. As I listening to my mother how glad she was to see the light, I felt Jesus speaking to me.

After few days spending time in Las Vegas, I feel many people are lost in the darkness blowing away there life, time, money, and many other things in this place. Yeah of course I was able to see people who enjoy their vacations and people trying to release their stress after a long day of conventions and meetings but I saw enough people stressing out losing their money and keep pouring more into the bottomless pit trying to recover their losses. My heart became heavy and wanted to leave this place asap.

Be a light that can bring warmth to His people until He comes back to shine bright all over the world like the sun. I do not know how to shine bright in front of people who are visiting and passing through this city but I will be a small light through my prayer. All who are in the darkness remember this. There is always someone who’s praying over you in times of trouble, weary, and situations of no hope to restore hope, joy, and loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Esau and Isaac

I was reading Genesis today and the story of these two brothers came up.
God spoke to Rebekah that “the older shall we’ve the younger” (Gen. 25:24) Rebekah willingly deceived Isaac. I was thinking about lack of faith that Rebekah had but all these are caused by Esau’s disobedient and discomfort he caused.

Gen 26:35 says Esau’s marriage made life bitter for Issac and Rebekah and 28:6-9 tells Esau married Canaanite woman to displease parents. yeah it looks like unfair love and favoritism resulted this but God spoke to me simple message again. Honor, respect, obedient, and love my parents. Blessings are coming from loving them, not being rebellious to them.
