Good Thursday morning! And a good morning to the thunderstorm too. We got a little wake-up call at 0600 this morning from a bit of thunder and hail. Did you run to check your windows first thing this morning? As an early riser, I was already up, but I did check the windows when the rain began. Eyoohh! A black cat just crossed in front of my screen! :-0 Some of us labor under superstition in this world. I find it interesting that the very people who refuse to believe in God, will often have no problem believing in the occult or superstition. Some superstitions start from good advice: don't walk under a ladder. Why? Because someone is usually working on the ladder and people tend to drop things from time to time. Other superstitions, black cats for example, seem to have a basis only in fantasy.
One problem with all of this mumbo-jumbo is that it becomes overwhelming and people take refuge in human intellect. You might hear someone say, "I don't believe in God or demons because I have never seen either one of them." At that rate of belief, that person will most likely continue in their unbelief. The devil has no need to tempt someone who already refuses to believe in God. You and I believe in Jesus; does that mean we accept the power of the occult too? NO! We are set free of that by the blood of Jesus. However, we do recognize the attraction and temptation the occult and superstition may have for others. Jesus didn't shine his light into a world of light; he shined light into the darkness of this world.
Enjoy the day, walk in the light of Jesus!
