The Light Wins by Maria Hartman

Darkness can be very scary, especially if we are in an unfamiliar place. Darkness prevents our eyes from seeing what is around us, and it greatly limits our function and productivity. But consider this: darkness is incapable of taking away the light. Our enemy is darkness but our God is Light.

Have you ever been driving at night when there is a bit of fog and light rain? I noticed recently how the headlights of my car just cut a path through, penetrating the darkness so that I could see. There was certainly more darkness than light, but the light dominated.

Often it seems like that is what is happening in our world; darkness is all around and it is prevailing. But as God has shown us in the physical world, he too has shown us in the spiritual realm. Light can always be seen in the darkness, even in the gloomiest of conditions. The same is true on an even grander scale with the Light of Christ. 1John 1:5 says, This is the message which we have heard form Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. His Light can and will be evident wherever there is darkness. Our cars have headlights, and we rely on them as the channel by which the light passes. We as believers in Him, ARE THE HEADLIGHTS, the channel He has chosen to bring the Living Light to those we encounter.

Ephesians 5:8 For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

For today: A child of God needs to never fear the darkness because the darkness has been overcome by the eternal light of Jesus Christ. And His Light has been given to and left with those who have called upon Him for salvation. In John 8:12 Jesus says, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
You and I have been given a very important job: go light your world!
