Recently I stood in the pitch black darkness of a church which had been boarded up and closed down for years. A group of us stood in a circle praying with a single flashlight between us.
Someone suggested we conserve the battery and turn the flashlight off while we prayed. That left us standing in complete darkness, which made me uncomfortable because of the possibility of spiders and mice.
So, I bowed my head but kept my eyes open. To my surprise, flooding through the dusty stained glass was the light of a brilliant full moon. The electricity in that room had been turned off long ago by the actions of godless men, but darkness could not diminish the power of God's own light in that holy place.
Jesus said, "You are the light of the world . . . Let your light shine," Matt 5:14-16. Remember, A light, no matter how small, shines brightest in darkness.
