Light Reflections 2

So yeah, light travels in straight lines. One reference said, "Light is the only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see. We are able to perceive it as a wide range of colors. If white light is shined into a triangular block of glass, called a prism, the glass refracts (BENDS) the light. In an effect called dispersion, the light is split into differing wavelengths, the band of visible colors known as the spectrum. The spectrum begins with the longest wavelength (red), and ends with the shortest wavelength, (violet). Most people see seven distinct colors, but the spectrum is really continuous changing color.

 

 

Now that alone is hard for my little mind to grasp. The spectrum is really continuously changing color with various wavelengths going on and all I see is a rainbow captured?

 

Reflections have incident ray and reflected ray and all sorts of angles and measurements that can be made. But the reflection is a reverse image. Is that part of what 1 Corinthians means about now we know in part?

 

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

From my journal: "The dining room chandelier glows in the bedroom window glass reflected off the hall mirror. They say light travels in a straight line, but the occasions when it seems to bend are wondrous."

So the light reflected in the mirror was not bending, but what about the times that are beyond coincidence when just what we need comes our way?

 

If we shine forth the light of Christ we know it comes through us but we did not create the light.

 

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

 

The comedian Patsy Clairmont titled her book God Uses Cracked Pots. So if you feel your life is full of cracks and fissures, ask God to shine through those places to His glory. You never know how what you share about your life with Christ may be used for the furtherance of the Kingdom in others! Dispersion of the Light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Christ, in the face of difficulties, in the face of life experience walking with our Savior and Lord.

 

2 Timothy 2:7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
