                                     My God turns my darkness into light"
                                                                                           -Psalm 18:28.

It was my normal night time routine, all was set for me to settle in bed with a book, only that this time something was different...

Just like every other night after my very minimalist night time routine, you can't blame me after a long day and finally getting the kids to bed, all i just want to do is get in bed with a good book or watch a movie, to help me relax and get ready to sleep. As i got in bed and made myself super comfortable, i turned to turn on my bedside lamp and it didn't come on, i pressed the switch again, same thing... just darkness. Then i concluded that my bulb was out and i needed to get a new bulb to replace the old dead one, so i made a mental note to get a new bulb the next day.


The next day as i fixed in the new bulb, i noticed it wasn't working too, only then did i think to check the plugs. And yes you guessed right! the plugs were not connected to the sockets!
In that very instant, i felt The Lord teaching me a lesson: how many times have we felt the need to change our "bulbs" just because we can't see, when actually all we needed to do was get plugged in?

The bible urges us in Matthew 5:16- “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” The reason why God is glorified when your light shines is because God is your light and salvation (Psalm 27:1). Therefore to keep your light shining, you have to stay connected to the source of your light - God!

Before you change those bulbs, check in on the plugs. Stay connected to God!
Yours in the Walk.
