Intensity


Intensity

Light is unique in many ways. We perceive it in a spectrum of what we might call its strength.
Physicists would call this variable amount of light emitted or transmitted, the light’s “intensity.”

Darkness, on the other hand, does not exist as a “thing” or condition. Darkness is simply the
absence of light.

The Bible uses these images when describing spiritual life, as well. He is Light, and He is life.

An Awesome God!


By A. Schwarz
We have such an all powerful, awesome God!!!
Oh my God! I can’t even begin to comprehend how powerful You are,
Daily, You cease to amaze me and catch me off guard.
You find me when my shields are up but always manage to penetrate through the cracks.
My soul is getting restless to see You work God, and see You we will!

When my hope is gone, it is replenished with Your presence that I can’t even understand.
When I am surrounded by the comforts of this world, You still reign and humble me where I am.

In the quiet, You say to my heart, “Am I enough? Will you follow Me and trust Me and My promises I have made to you? You are my beloved, and I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

With Your breath, You spoke the heavens and everything into existence.
Not a single thing was made that You did not form.
Your word lifted the mountains from the depths and placed Your seal upon them. For in Your presence, they will bow and cry out praises to You name! “Saviour!”

With the strength and power of a billion galaxies, You called forth to breathe in Your life.
Their radiance is a mere shadow of your brilliance and beauty.
Your glory is “like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day!”

By Your word, You hold everything in place. Not a single being lies beyond Your reach.

So I open my eyes and look all around me, and how can I fail to see Your presence?
All Your creation shouts its praises in unfailing worship;
a continuous display of Your glorious glory.

Holy is the LORD! Shall I not shout at the top of my lungs in the same unending praise?
To let every part of myself be an act of worship as the sun forever shines in Your presence.

A Love so glorious, that shakes the mountains, that commands the angels.
You are Holy and Wonderful!
My lips cannot dare to speak of Your overwhelming presence enough!
If there were words to express, they would still fail to capture who You are.
Were I to have unsurpassing wisdom, I would be nowhere closer to wrapping my heart and mind around You.

“At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place. Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.”

“Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Then I will go to the alter of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.”

Proverbs 4:18
Job 37:1-3
Psalm 42:9
