Exodus 10:22-23 ...deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days. v.23 During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.
v.22. sounds a bit like our present circumstances throughout the world doesn't it? It feels like deep darkness and no one is supposed to be moving about! But for the people of God there is light as usual.
It is wonderful to know and remember our God is Light and that we are children of the Light. We are not a people who live in darkness because we have the light that shined in the darkness at creation, living right inside of us. His miracle working power, His glorious presence, His peace and joy are actually living within our spirit man so we no longer are like those who don't know Him. We are living in the Light and His Light is living in us.
I have to ask myself sometimes, does my face reflect the Light living inside me or is it reflecting what is going on in the world? How about yours? I pray we will be a people who 'shine' with the Light of God on our faces so people are drawn to ask why we're different to them, where we get our peace from?
The truth is we are different to them because God is in our lives and they can know Him and His peace too if they want to.
As we stand today, and the coming days, in the grace of God, in the 'light' of the resurrection of Jesus, we will have a 'lightness' and a light in our spirits which will shine for Jesus.
Colossians 1:12-14 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
Thank You Lord.
