JESUS THE INSTIGATOR
Earlier this week I was at
the dentist to get a filling. When the dentist finished putting the composite
in place, 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 not a laser light but 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 born again
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
instigates a way out of any aspect of darkness.
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 in the natural.
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
