ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS ‘TIL SPRING! At least, that’s what the calendar says—but when you live in Michigan, it may actually come along a little later. However, regardless of the weather, one thing is certain: Daylight Saving Time arrives this Sunday! And that means more evening daylight hours, and that’s always good.
Lighter longer. I like that. Makes you feel better about life in general, doesn't it? Light is good. Let’s face it, we live in a very dark world. This can be a very self-serving, mean-spirited, violent place at times. Perhaps you live in a setting where God is not acknowledged, faith is mocked, and godless living is applauded.
What should you do? Curse the darkness? No, no, why not spread some light? In fact, you could be just what the darkness needs—shining forth for all to see. You can do it! Through a smile, a kind word, a worthy deed. Now wait a minute, I can almost read your mind. You think your light is too small to make a difference. Well consider the following.
Researchers at UCLA recently announced they have developed the world’s smallest light bulb. The bulb uses a filament 100,000 times narrower and 10,000 times shorter than those made by Thomas Edison. In fact, it is so small that it is invisible until it is lit. When the bulb is lit, it appears as a point of light to the naked eye. This breakthrough is important because inventors are searching for ways to make energy conserving LED bulbs cheap enough to light homes and offices of the future.
This discovery pushes back the boundaries of physics and offers insight on how small light sources can produce large quantities of light.
Our lives are invisible unless the light of Jesus shines through us. The good news is, even the smallest light source becomes visible.
Wow! Our light may be small, but it can be very effective in dispelling the darkness.

Thanks Bruce! I am traveling and now in Roanoke, VA. It is always refreshing to read your devotional articles AND your book, "Pushing the Pause Button on Life."
I loved this devotional! Tonight I will be driving home late and I will actually be awake at 2:00 am to turn my clock forward on time! Of course, I will be reminded of this devotional thought as I turn forward the clock, adding an extra hour to my trip.
Rick
