Genesis 1:3-4
“Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.“
The vast majority of crimes and sinful activities are committed in the dark. Man has deceived himself into thinking that if others cannot see what he is doing, God cannot see what he is doing. Not only is that false, it is foolish!
God loves light! From the opening moments of creation God established light. The light God created has existed down through the ages. That light will continue until God establishes a new heaven and a new earth. We are told in the book of Revelation that in heaven there will be no need for the sun or the moon because God will be the light.
Since God is the light of the world, he desires for his children to be a light in a dark world. As a boy I can recall singing a song; “This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” I wonder how many kids who sang that song are letting their light shine today.
In what way are you a light in a dark world? Do you bring hope and light to those who are groping about in darkness? If you have a question about this I urge you to pray and go into God’s Word and find that light so you can light the way for others.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
