Let there be light

“And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (Genesis 1:3)

Some people are comfortable with darkness. Once grace has been operationalized we are no longer comfortable with darkness.

Darkness symbolizes the “fallen nature of man, ‘chaos and ‘without form and void,’ with darkness thick and sevenfold covering all. The Lord begins His work upon man by the visitation of the Spirit, who enters the soul mysteriously, and broods over it, even as of old He moved upon the face of the waters. He is the quickener of the dead soul…The Lord sends into the soul, as His first blessing, light. The Lord appeals to man's understanding and enlightens it by the gospel…light came into the world at first by the Word "God said, 'Let there be light.'" Charles Spurgeon

And so it is when darkness presents itself and tries to entangle us again in chaos, we must remember that the Lord spoke light into existence on the first day. Spurgeon notes that our Lord spent a whole day on it because it symbolizes His power and His grace.

Let us not take the light for granted. Not everything is of God, not everything is for us. Let us be careful to recognize darkness in people, places, and things for God does not dwell there. Sometimes you are facing that situation just because you dwell in the Light. 

Light and darkness cannot share together.
