It is you who light my lamp; the LORD, my God, lights up my darkness.
(Psalm 18.28
NRSV)
A huge truck, loaded with barrels of paint, made its way through the Hudson Tunnel to a
factory in New York City. When it arrived, the containers were unloaded and rolled into a dark
warehouse. The doors were immediately closed, and a trained expert removed the lids. Then,
after taking protective safeguards, he held a tiny vial over each barrel for just a moment before
replacing the covers. It contained radium, and by this process the paint became luminescent.
Later it was applied to barricades and used to make dividing lines on the highways. By the
man's actions, the basic ingredients had been transformed so that they would shine in the
dark.
Are you allowing God's light to shine through you to transform our dark world?
Dear God, help me to be a light for those around me. Amen.
