Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. (Micah 7:8 ESV)
Rising and Light
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is an idea in Mathematics and Physics that states we are unable to ‘know’ both what something is, and what it is doing. For example, we cannot study what an automobile IS without stopping it from driving. And we are unable to know where a car is going while it is stalled in the shop.
When things are dark and low… we examine our lives sometimes, and despair. We see our troubles, our pains, and our sorrows. And we hear Gods enemies laugh.
But Micah reminds us that where we might be at the moment is NOT where we will be!
No matter how truly dark our night, the light is coming! No matter how truly low we have fallen, God will raise us!
Jesus is the ideal example of this. If you were peaking into that tomb between Good Friday and Easter, things would be dark… and the fate of the universe was low.
But He arose! Light returned!
Without Christ, dark is dark, and low is low.
But we are peculiar, we will be raised. We have light.
