LIGHT

As i was driving to work this morning I was just looking down the road and the Sun was just incredibly bright. It got me thinking about Light and Darkness. The only thing that could take away the brightness of the sun would be clouds. The truth is that doesnt take away the brightness of the sun it only takes away how evident the suns brightness is to us. The suns brightness doesn't change only the way we see it.
In him was life and that life was the light of men. the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1;4-5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:God is light: in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
When thinking about how bright and incredibly visible the Sun was I couldn't help but think about the times when God is so overwhelmingly evident in everything we do. If i turn and face the opposite way of the Sun I still see it lighting up the world around me.I can close my eyes but even then if I'm staring at it I still am aware that something bright is just beyond my eyelids. The only way the light becomes unknown is if clouds are covering it up or the earth is turned away from it and has been given to darkness and the moon.
So often we cloud our lives with unnecessary wants and worries and cover up and quench the light by putting other things before the Lord. We then cry out asking God where are you? I cant see or feel you...God never left maybe we turned away and were given over to darkness for a time? Hebrews 12: says let us Throw off EVERYTHING that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles...Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith...The sun is always the sun and shining brightly...God is Light;in him there is no darkness...I urge you to see if you've placed anything in front of God in your life clouding his presence from your life, or quite possibly youve turned away completely and been given over to darkness and the death that comes from earthly desires. His light shines brightly for the world to see! matthew 5:14 says WE are the light of the world and a city on a hill cannot be hidden...Letyour light shine before men... If our lives our clouded and we arent seeing the fullness of His light how could others ever see it in us? Let everytime you see sunlight be a reminder of the great burning Light the Lord is.

Let him light you with a passion for the whole world to see!
