Have you ever tried to walk in the Karoo late at night when
the sun has gone and it’s only the moon and the Milkyway of stars?
This weekend my family and I went on a midnight walk and
were instructed not to bring along torches or lights – did I mention we were in
the middle of the Karoo? Well, you can imagine our reaction. HELL NO, we want
torches! We never won and were forced go without lights.
Now, I am so grateful that we gave in; it was truly breath-taking
to see how God has designed our body to adapt to any situation. There we were
in the middle of nowhere with no light and we were scared as hell. However, the
longer we walked in the dark the clearer our vision became.
We are so reliant on the manmade things - like torches -
that we forget about the miracles and power God has given each of us. We ended
up walking for about an hour with no light and we didn’t even miss it. We
looked around us and were amazed by the beauty of the night sky and how our
eyes adjusted to darkness.
Lesson: Sometimes we need to put what is manmade
aside and just rely on our God!
