Genesis 1:15 - and let them be for the lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth;” and it was so. (NASB)

But You knew, Abba, that by my very nature, my human mind would need a source to understand and help me to function on a day-to-day basis so You put that source of light in the sky. Abba, I ask You to help me not need that source, but to only focus on the true Source—You. Help me not to need to see the Source of all that I need, but to depend on the Source without seeing it. Abba, You are my Source and You are all that I need. I don’t need to be able to see a Source. I don’t need a sun or a moon or stars. All I need, Abba, is You. These things You have given me help me to feel grounded and secure. They help me to know my place. But, Abba, I need to remember that I don’t need them because I have You. I need to let go of my need to have concrete things to hold on to and just hold on to You. All of the concrete things can fall away and disappear. But You will never disappear. You will never leave me lost as my human body can be lost without the artificial light to guide it. That is the key word, artificial. I need what is real, not what is artificial. And the substance that I can touch and feel and see is the artificial and the substance I cannot touch and feel and see is what is truly real. My human mind is telling me that is totally backwards, but my heart is telling me that is totally correct. The little ones I will be teaching this morning need things that are concrete according to all the studies of how to teach children. These theories say they cannot understand non-concrete concepts. But their little hearts need to start knowing You by faith, not by a concrete thing they can hold. That concept is hard for adults. But I wonder if the truth is actually the exact opposite. I wonder if they don’t know You on a basis of accepting Your presence and Your light without the desire for concrete proof. I need, in my teaching, to find a way to tap into that knowledge of Your presence without proof so it is strengthened in them and so it reinforces my own faith. This teaching needs to be for both them and for me. I have no knowledge of how to do this. I need You to give me that knowledge and give me the teaching skill to impart the knowledge. Abba, I ask this day that You will teach though me at the same time You are teaching me so that we all find a greater understanding of You and of a greater faith. Amen.
