“We Are the Children of Light”
 
 
walk as children of light

Genesis 1 :1-3    (DARBY) 

 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.

And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness. “
 
One of the first things the living God did  during creation was separate the light from the dark.    He saw it to be a good thing that light stood out from the darkness. Every morning we wake up to the light of day, and at night the sky grows dark  yet in this world we can see that spiritual darkness still hovers over the lives of people every minute of their day.      This darkness creates confusion and lack of direction to those that are lost.  Darkness in one’s life can bring great depression and lack of hope to a soul.   
 

For such a time as this, we are called to be lights in the midst of darkness.  He is watching for those that desire to shine like a light because He has  given the light that never grows dim.   Oh praise living God that within us burns a fire and light that will never get dim.  He desires that we be the light where there is no light.   Oh that our testimony of living for Him would cause those that are lost to believe there really is light at the end of their hopeless tunnel!

 

 
 
Luke 11:22 (CEB)
“People don’t light a lamp and then put it in a closet or under a basket. Rather, they place the lamp on a lampstand so that those who enter the house can see the light.”
