If we are honest
Even adults are at times
Afraid of the dark
Or at least uneasy
Go spelunking and you will see
Dark like you never have before
It envelopes you
When I was a child
I would hide under the covers at night
Holding my Bible
I had trouble sleeping
So I spent a good bit of time
In this manner
One of the first verses I learned
Psalm 4:8
“In peace I will both
Lie down and sleep;
For you alone, O Lord,
Make me dwell in safety”
Even as a child I understood
The necessity of Shalom
For Shalom is like balm on a wound
It stops the damage
Begins the repair
Without peace
Chaos reigns
But not just in a busy way
Or a fighting way
It is deep within our being
We are unable to focus our eyes
We lose our stay on Christ
And like Peter our feet get wet
And we start to sink into darkness
But He is forever near
Our Savior
Our Light of the World
Our Prince of Peace
Cry out to Him
