The lighthouse, so many ways to think of it.  It is the rescuer for the ships in the sea, but at the same time it is our rescuer from the things of the this world.   God is our lighthouse.  As we were standing on the shore we could hear the fog horns of the ships, as if to say "here I am, where are you land, where is my protection?"  I see that in our Lord.  We are out here calling for him, looking for him, and he is our lighthouse saying "here I am, you are safe with me"
