So whenever you are in a time where you feel like you are really in a shadow,

it's like a darkness has been cast over you.

Whenever you are a time like that, you need to know

that you cannot be in a shadow that the light is not close by.

Because the only way that shadow is happening is that the light is causing it.

So on the other side of that shadow is happening is that the light is causing it. So on the other side of that

shadow, there is the light and the brighter and more intense the light than the more intense

the seasons.

I know you probably knew that, but it was a good reminder to me that the tilt of the Earth's axis affects the lengths of the shadows.

So during the summer, our location is tilted toward the sun.

That makes the shadows one way.

In the winter, it's tilted away from the sun.

That makes the shadows another way.

And I say that because so often in our seasons... it's tilted away from the sun, that makes the shadows another way.

And I say that because so often in our seasons, shadows change.

And this is what reminds us of the glorious words of the New Testament that tell us that with God there is no shifting of shadows, no variation.

You're meant to understand, and I'm meant to understand that in the theology of shadows

that he says, I'm going to tell you something, that light stays still.

Nothing can put it out.

Nothing.

And it will remain.

It will remain.
