“But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.” (1 Thessalonians 5:8 NLT)
Mexican cavefish are blind; their surface dwelling cousins, on the other hand, have eyesight. Many animals that live in perpetual darkness trade off vision for other sensory adaptations. Mexican cavefish find food by following vibrations. Over generations of living in the dark, their eyes have regressed from disuse.
Similarly, those who live in spiritual darkness develop a form of blindness. They lack awareness, insight, and consciousness. They chase after every vibration and diversion. Their vision has regressed from disuse. However, those who live in the light are clear-minded, alert, and cognizant. Their senses are attuned to the visible and invisible. When they are going through difficult times, they can sense God’s presence leading them back into the light. They do not live as if everything depended on themselves. They put their confidence in God.
