Reading Shadows and Shining Lights to my children I read, "This time look at the light instead of the shadows." This first struck me because we've been dealing with good days going bad when the focus is on what didn't go someone's way instead of remembering the good. The light can be what we do know when we're confused, what is right when all seems wrong, what we can see when the way seems dark.  I also realized they're just shadows, not strong powerful darkness, just shadows. Shadows, and even darkness, have no power over light. Jesus is the light and in His presence darkness has to flee. Bring Him into any dark or shadowy situation.
