Light'n Up!

Isn’t it funny how the world tries to distort things? Has anyone ever told you to “lighten up”? Consider it a complement or a conviction.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
Genesis 1:1-3

There was a void and there was darkness. The world continues to seek darkness and to live in darkness and to hide in darkness. God created light on that first “day” and forever separated the light from the darkness.


In the temple court, Jesus saved a woman from being stoned to death for her adulterous act. Then Jesus declares;

“I am the light of the world.
He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 8:12

God created the light and God is The Light. Where there is light, darkness cannot exist.

If Jesus is The Light of your life, then there cannot be darkness in your life. When you see or feel darkness, go to The Light. Lift up your voice and give thanks in prayer that Jesus is The Light of the world and His Spirit lives in you.

Praise You Father for giving us Light and taking us out of darkness by the blood of your Son.
Thank You Jesus for coming into my life to be my Savior and Redeemer.
Thank You Lord for showing me your Light as I walk this day.
Fill my path with your Light and my way with your Word.
Guide me and guard me this day as I follow You.
Encourage me throughout the day, by your Spirit, to lighten up a dark world with your Love and Grace.

Amen.
