And There Was Light

And There Was Light

In a situation that is lifeless, dark, chaotic, and without form what would be your priorities if you were able to bring about transformation. When God addressed a similar situation, He demonstrated what must come first. He said, “Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3). Light makes way for God to provide solutions. When there was light, God then brought order and life.

Light is so vital to God that it took the light of the world to restore order and life to humanity (John 8:12). Light provides illumination and sustains life. A world without light is hard to imagine. Much as we need light in the physical, we also need the light of God. God’s nature is light. He is the source of spiritual illumination. More than driving away darkness God as light transforms us into his likeness (Mathew 5:14). He illuminates spiritual riches for us to be encouraged and enjoy. What difference it would make if you could be aware and understand things about God and you! Such awareness requires eyes of faith through God’s word.  He wants us to see who He is, what we have, what we can accomplish, and what He has in store for our future.

The Psalmist put it beautifully, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? (Psalm 27:1). Eyes that cannot see are synonymous with absence of light. The Lord is your light to remove 'absence of light'.  In addition, He is your salvation to open your eyes (2 Corinthians 4:4). We have the light and the salvation.  And therefore like the Psalmist are strong.  We are not afraid. We know our God reigns and anything that works against us will stumble and fail. Nothing moves us. Our one desire is to be in His presence. He hides us in time of trouble and put us high on a rock. Pray today, ‘let there be light.’
