Darkness is the first and natural state of life before light is introduced. God allowed darkness—which is the metaphorical absence of light—because He knows that when He introduces light, it has the ability to illuminate and give sight.
“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)
Just like when a child is born: the child does not see at first. That does not mean the child is blind, but only that it takes time. In the book of Genesis, the Bible says the earth was covered with water and darkness until God introduced light.
(Genesis 1:2)
Friends, the darkness you see today in your life is a reminder that God is interested in bringing His light to you. Darkness was never meant to drown you, but to draw you closer to God. It was in the darkness of the earth that God began His work of creation, and He is willing to create something beautiful out of your life if you let Him.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
Remember, there can be no light without darkness, because the breaking of a new day comes out of the night. If darkness was bad, God would not have created the evening.
We are the light of the world—a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. But what is light if you do not know the Giver of that light? Only through Him can His light shine perfectly into every area of our lives, so that we are illuminated in Him. In His light we find peace, freedom, and joy.
(Psalm 36:9)
“For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”
So friends, the light God promises always comes out of darkness. That darkness is a sign that God is interested in you and that He is not done with you yet so the Spirit and the Son says come.
Stay revived!
