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?
