Read Psalm 18.
In verse 28 the Psalmist moves to another phase of the teaching. Thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
Many similes have been offered by religious teachers to illustrate the relationship between God and man. One of the best known and most helpful is to think of man as a spark from a great fire, which is God. The spark is not the whole of the fire but is part of it, and therefore of the same nature, and possesses, potentially, all the characteristics of the parent fire. It can ignite many things upon which it falls, thus producing another fire essentially of the same nature as the original fire.
A prayer for those in the garden today.
May the spark of the divine,
Kindle within us the flames of God’s Holy Spirit;
That we may shine God’s light,
On all the world around us, and
Cast the creator’s embers on those we touch;
Igniting in them that same Holy Spirit!
All this Father, that we may see and be
Your fire and light here below. Amen.
Seeing and being,
Z gardener
