It’s May 9th and it is snowing outside. That is just not right. Some things should not go together, like May and snow. These unmatchable things seem to violate nature, or at least common sense.
We all understand the theory of unmatchable things when it comes to food. I wouldn’t put ice cream on top of soup. I wouldn’t ask for ice cold lemonade on a day like today. Cookies and milk go together, but broccoli doesn’t go well with cookies for me.
We also use the theory of match ability in life. We use the phrase, “they make such a cute couple” when looking at two people obviously in love. We take aptitude tests to determine good career matches for our personalities and abilities. We try to match our interests with our aspirations.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, my actions should match my words. Admittedly, some times they don’t match, but over time they are becoming more in sync. I truly desire to become more Christ-like in my words and actions. I John 1:5-7 says, “This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
I don’t know about you, but I want to walk in the light. Walking in darkness brings pain. Therefore I choose to draw close to the One who is Light, Jesus Christ.
