Wow, okay.
Light.
Light is one of the most abundant and least understood elements of our world. We know a lot about how to manipulate and harness light, but little when it comes to what light is and how far we can push it to accomplish our goals. Regardless of what light is or how it can be used, light is the photographer's sustenance.
Whether we're talking about mood, shutter speed, film speed, or aperture settings, light is the topic of the hour. When you get into the deeper levels of photography and start to understand what is fast or slow, what is opened or closed, you realize that the Sun emits so much more light than anything man-made.
Isn't that the way it is though? The Son, God's Son Jesus, radiates with so much light that our efforts seem abnormally dim. In places that lack the Lord's light it is difficult to capture a person's heart and focus. With our own little lights it is impossible, but with Jesus' light through us our immediate area becomes more visible. As the Son dawns there everything starts to clear and the muck hides, leeching into darkness.
Someday the entire universe will be bathed in the Son's light and all that is vile will have nowhere to hide. Mmmm... what a wonderful day that will be.

Thanks for this devotion, Zachary. Our efforts are so dim in comparison to His Awesomeness.
Neat thoughts, Zachary. Light is the sustenance of photographers, just as the Light is the sustenance of the world. Thanks for that reminder!
