The light was created to dispel darkness, but what happens when we switch it on in bright places? This question made me ponder: can light ever be enough? While praying this morning, these scriptures stood out in my mind: 1 John 5:19, which says:
"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness." (KJV)" and
John 1:5, which says:
"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (KJV)
The reality is that light can never be enough.
I've never comfortable walking or staying in a dark place alone. Whenever I had to be in a dark environment, I'd insist on holding onto a light source. To me, light carves out a safe space and provides a sense of security. In those moments, I gain a deeper understanding of Jesus' words about light.
When we choose the safety of Jesus' light, we realize that we're laying our worries at His feet. To survive in a world filled with uncertainty, we need a reliable guide. Have you ever felt overwhelmed, waking up each day unsure of what to make of certain situations? But God has spoken His word to us, assuring us that He is the light that darkness cannot comprehend.
Christ wants to be our light in every situation and circumstance. He desires to show up for us, to guide us through life's challenges. It takes a great light to defeat the darkness that seeks to overwhelm us. Christ is our light, and getting to know Him in this way is a journey I've recently embarked on.
As we invite Jesus to shine His light in our lives, He unfolds Himself to us. If light represents safety to you, He brings comfort. If light symbolizes understanding, He shows you the way. When faced with decisions or uncertainty, Jesus takes the lead, shining His light to guide us.
I've started this journey of knowing Christ as my light, and I believe He wants to do the same for you. He's eager to show up, to brighten our world, and bring us joy. So, friend, ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you today as your light. There's more to discover about the light of God.
Stay Revived!
