The COVID-19 pandemic still shrouds our world, darkening hopes for a brighter future. For many people it’s hard to see any light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, after having lost so much in the past year: loved ones, jobs, homes. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Pastor Max Lucado gives more than just hope for new beginnings, he gives concrete ways to be sure they’re on the horizon: trust in the light of God’s Truth. Scripture says, “In your light we see light.” (Psalm 36:9) and that, “Even the darkness is as light” to God (Psalm 139:12). Pastor Max talks about how he taught his young daughters an important lesson about how to walk in darkness. He blindfolded them and told them to walk towards what they knew was a source of safety, his voice. It was a spiritual exercise to learn the often-scary experience of listening to the light of God’s voice, while your world is in darkness. Lucado says it’s how he now counsels’ people today as the clouds of the pandemic and the upheavals of 2020 are still hanging over us. In his book “Begin Again,” Pastor Max says that because God is creator, He’s also the source of all new beginnings. So, it’s important to listen to His voice that says, “All things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to his purpose.”
