Out of the darkness

At about 6:30 am as I walked into our warehouse I realized how much easier it was to see in the dark when coming in from the dark. The light switches are across the building (male electricians, need I say more?) and our security light burns out every week. So I usually have to flip open my cell phone for light but this morning I realized I could see the panel box without any help. I realized that my eyes hadn't been exposed to light yet so I could see inside the dark building. Now when the sun is up, I am absolutely blinded with I walk inside. It struck me that sometimes that is how my relationship is with God. When I come in from the darkI can find the light almost immediately but when I have been running in the sun for awhile I have a hard time seeing the source of my light. I am blinded by the bright glittery lights of the the world and have to readjust my vision to see God. Being blinded by the world distorts my view of the one and only light source. When life is going good, I need to stop and recharge my batteries so when I hit the darkness I can quickly bring up the light, the light of the world, Jesus Christ.
