What is a shadowland?

Certainly, we could all find an appropriate definition for "shadowland." For some, a shadowland might be a place of protection--Psalm 91:1 comes to mind:

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty."

For others, a shadowland may be a cold, dismal place where the sun seems not to shine. Both of these explanations have served to describe my shadowland at any given time, but the truth is that even in the darkest of places, He still reigns. In those cold, lonely moments or even panic-stricken, frustrated moments, we are not outside of His shelter.

Look around you, these are the shadowlands. From the very best, most beautiful, perfection of things to the ugliest, most terrifying and disasterous, tsunami-type moments of life, God is there. And He knows and purposes all things to His glory.

In our limited understanding of time and life, we know only part of the truth of God. While we can only see glimpses of God's glory surrounding us, we are also protected from seeing the full spiritual battle that wages against sin and evil. Thank God for His shadow.

"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away." 1 Corin. 13:9,10
