JESUS THE INSTIGATOR
When the dentist finished putting the composite
filling in my tooth, the dental assistant held something in my mouth that
looked like a fat pen. I heard it buzz a couple times. Then she took it out.
What the heck was that?
The dentist explained that it is a blue light.
He said it’s an instigator—it starts a chemical reaction in the two mixed
materials for the filling.
In looking up the light spectrum I found that blue light helps boost alertness, heighten reaction
times, elevate moods, and increase the feeling of wellbeing. It’s a high
energy wavelength. I immediately related this to my Lord Jesus.
I thought of the verse where Jesus said: “I am the light of the
world” (John 8:12). Jesus is like the blue
light. He’s an instigator. He gets things started. He starts us out as
a fresh Christian when we accept Him as Lord of our lives. His light
cleanses us of all sin, guilt, and shame. Later in our spiritual walk when
we need new inspiration or a fresh revelation, He’s there to give a jump start.
We call on Jesus to give us
more light on a situation where we feel like we’re in the dark or confused or
anxious. Jesus makes a way out of any aspect of darkness and will continue to
guide us with His light if we let Him.
I’ve found that when I prayed
for the light of Jesus to intervene in a situation, it triggered a domino
effect in circumstances that I really had no control over, things I certainly
couldn’t change or fix by myself.
The Instigator, Jesus, gets
things rolling and then we get to watch and see how awesome the results follow
through, often in ways we would have never dreamed of or expected.
My dentist said the light
instigator shining on the two parts of the composite material made it set up
much faster than in the old days.
I want to be quicker to call on
Jesus’ light in my situations. With His jump start, the results
will most likely be speedier too.
Love, Carolyn
My books are still being
offered on Amazon, and I believe Barnes and Noble. Even the older ones are
great to read!
