The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. -John 1:5 (NLT)
LIGHT COVERS DARKNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you feel down and depressed
Run to the throne so you can be refreshed
Believe in him so you can enjoy his light
It illumines the darkness in your life.
The light of Jesus brightens any sorrow
It brings you hope for a better tomorrow
When light covers darkness, it can’t be extinguished
It will expose all the evil schemes and make it perish.

Most children are afraid of the dark. The bible tells us that God has a special place for children in his kingdom. He requires us to be childlike to be able to enter it. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 says that we are all children of the light and we don’t belong to darkness. Those who enjoy darkness have been held captive by the enemy. Satan has blinded them and kept them hostages of evil. Those who keep so many secrets are prisoners of darkness. Matthew 10:26 says that all secrets will be revealed and will be made known to all.
1 John 1:5 says that God is light and there is no darkness in him at all and John 1:5 says that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. Therefore, God triumphs over all evil and will perish the darkness.
PRAYER
Thank you for your light, Lord Jesus.
REFLECTION
What darkness in your life have you allowed God’s light to shine in?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
-John 1:5(NLT)
LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
During your darkest moments
Run to Jesus your Lord and repent
His word is a lamp to your feet
He will show you the way to be free.
When trials come your way
Remember what Jesus faced
He was crucified to bring you light
He defeated the enemy and won the fight.
Have you ever experienced pitch darkness? It is a very stifling feeling to be in total pitch black surrounding. Lots of children fear the dark and even some adults still do. Why do people feel the dark? Is it because of the unknown and the unseen. Humans like to have control over almost everything in their lives. Being presented with the unknown terrifies a lot of people. We naturally don’t like change but in God’s economy, renewal or changing of the mind is important in spiritual growth.
The bible tells us that light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. The light here is symbolic of the word of God. So, where the word of God is, there will be light and the darkness which represents evil will never hide anymore. It will be exposed and can’t stay in hiding anymore. When the word of God exposes a sin, no one can hide from it.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your light through your word.
REFLECTION
How can you keep the light shining for Jesus?
