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 well-being. 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
