Shifting Shadows

Antelope Canyon

Have you ever noticed how different things look in a shadow contrasted with the sunlight? Colors look muted and dull. Yet, the shadows add depth and dimension to a picture. I take a lot of pictures and always find it challenging to work with shadows. As the seasons change the shadows change, too. The sun gets farther from us in the winter and the shadows grow longer. It creates dimension and umbrage.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows," (James 1:17 NIV). 

When we visited Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona we were amazed at the sights as we walked through the canyon and noticed the light accentuating the rock formations below. The darkness of the shadows created areas of obscurity that were mysterious and almost scary as we walked through the canyon.

I appreciate God's light that makes all things clear and visible, but the shadows remind us that darkness can hold evil. May your day be bright and full of God's good gifts.
