Blocking the Light

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)

"It ought to be just about time," I thought, as I noticed the clock showed 10:00. I had been watching the lunar eclipse for the last hour, and knew it should be reaching its peak now. Stepping outside, though, I was struck not by the moon itself, or the interesting image of the eclipse. Rather I was struck by the darkness. The blazing light of the full moon was truly "eclipsed", and the darkness was almost palpable as I stood looking at the darkened moon.

As I understand it, an eclipse is caused by the earth coming between the sun and the moon. And when the world gets in the way, the light of the moon is blocked... and the darkness can be felt.

Jesus said we Christians are to be the light of the world, and that our light should shine in darkness and point the world to the Savior. Is your light shining brightly in the night of this world? Or is the world dimming your witness?
