Genesis 1:3 NKJV 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.
If we had been there at creation looking out over the darkness we would probably have told it how it was and said , “Wow, it’s dark out there!” and we would all still be in darkness!😊 But God looked at the darkness and He called it how He wanted it to be - He called for light to shine. I’m so glad that at the very beginning of everything God said, “Let there be light.”
Every day He could have made it all as beautiful as could be, but without the light shining on Day One, it would never have been appreciated, because no one would ever have been able to see it! God has given us so many blessings to enjoy but without the Light of Jesus in our lives we won’t see them to appreciate and enjoy them.
John 8:12 NKJV Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
How much of the Light of Jesus do we have in our lives? Is it a little low battery torch, is it a fluorescent 6 foot long bulb, or is it a light that shines so bright it’s like bringing the sun into every corner of our existence so we light up our world.
Let’s imitate God and ‘speak’ the light of Jesus into any area of darkness in our lives. “Let there be the light of Jesus in….” We can fill in the blanks wherever we need His light to shine, whether it’s into sickness, or grief, or finances, or church, or work, or depression - any area.
Ephesians 5:8 NKJV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. God wants to light up our world today so we can see and enjoy everything He has for us and others. My question is, will we let Him, and speak and release His light wherever we go?😊 I pray we do. In Jesus name. Amen.
