GOD IS LIGHT

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The apostle John said, For we know that God is light. (1 John 1:5). Light, like God, exists for every one of us; even for the ‘blind’ man. He knows that it is there; he feels its warmth; people tell him about the colors it creates. He may learn about it in books written in Braille; he may even become an expert in the matter of light, but to merely know about light doesn’t help him see his way, so he gropes in the dark in fear of falling. The Lord himself must be our Light so we can walk in surety, be enlightened from the darkness of sin, and not fall in the pits of the enemies.

The apostle John also said, light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5) Let it not be so that when the Light shines upon our soul, we snuff it under a bushel of excuses. Let it not be so that when light exposes error in our heart, we crucify it with nails of self-justification. We surely can understand a child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life, is when grown men are afraid of the Light!

Oh, God of light and wonders; enlighten my soul that it gropes no more in darkness. Help me not hang on to the oppressing darkness of doubt and fear, but help me bathe unafraid in the warm soothing light of your arms.

John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
