Power of Your Shadow

Shadows are dark reflections of who we are.

I do not spook or get startled easy,

but one night I was doing some work

outside and my shadow startled me.

Shadows are typically

associated with fear and evil.

They are the shape produced by our body when our

body comes between a light source and a surface.

What if your silhouette, outline, shape,

contour or profile had the power to do good?

 

What if your shadow could bring relief

to others like shade from the hot sun?

What if you had the power to

overshadow situations for good?

Where ever there is

light there are shadows.

Have you ever considered the

power of God’s Light on your life?

Have you ever thought about the shadow

you give because God’s Light is on you?

Are there people who

want to be in your shadow?

They somehow want to be like you

or receive something you have.

We find an amazing thing in

Acts 5 about Peter’s shadow.

Verse 15, first 3 words are “As a result”.

What is about to be

said is because Acts 5:12...

The apostles performed many miraculous

signs and wonders among the people.

In fact what is about to be said

comes on the heels of two people dying

because they lied to the Holy Spirit.

(The judgment of God is a fearful power.)

So, “As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so 

that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.”

People believed that if Peter’s shadow came

across their sick loved ones or across their

own afflicted bodies they could be healed.

It does not say Peter went to where the sick

were, but it does say they brought the sick to him.

People did the same with Jesus,

they brought the sick to Him.

You were asked a lot of questions about

shadows as you started reading this devotional.

Let me leave you with another question…

Is the power of God shining in your life

in such a way that people come to you

for physical and spiritual healing?

Lord, help us to walk in the power and authority

of your Spirit in such a way that people will

want to be in our shadow cast by your light.
