Maybe because it's Friday and it's been a long week. Maybe because the sun was shining today and the temperature went to 81 degrees. Whatever the reason the windows on the cars came down and people stuck their arms out there car windows. The music from the radios, or CD's, or bluetooth connections were louder than normal. People were looking through their rearview mirrors at the people behind them. I know because I was watching them.
If you read my Blog daily, you might know me. I am a high Melancholy Choleric. So, somedays I am more into details and think deeply and yes, become a bit philosophical. Perhaps I will jot this down as one of those days. I began to wonder why the sun had such a transforming effect? That's when I realized that I was having a bit of an epiphany. This sudden revelation or insight came as I was considering this scripture.

Matthew 4:16 NIV "the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
That's when it dawned on me. The sun shines everyday. Somedays we don't see it. We may not feel it. But, the sun is shiny nevertheless. When people actually see the sun however it changes them. When they can't actually see the sun or feel it they think it's not there.
Isn't that the way people feel about "The Son"? Jesus the son of God whom they cannot see and they can't feel, they doubt the existence. The God of this world has blinded them. Mark 8:18 KJV "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" 2 Corinthians 4:14 KJV "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." However, when the Son shines into their darkness and they have an encounter with Him like Paul did, they will forever be changed.
As the season changes and the sun shines down on the earth it begins to come to life again. There is hope for our nation and for the people all over this world, and that hope is Jesus Christ, the son of God. Let's pray like we have never prayed before, that people begin to not just open their windows, but open their hearts. Pray that they not only stick their arms out, but lift their hands up. Pray that the music coming from their cars would be music that glorifies God. Pray that as the earth begins to come to life, the people of the world would come to new life, be born again, and become new creatures in Christ. Prayer changes everything. Now is the time. This is a new season. Let the son shine, let the son shine...
