The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
John 1:9 [NLT]

At creation, when darkness and chaos ruled the earth, the Word said, ‘Let there be light.’ Immediately, light brought order out of disorder.

It’s tough to be in a desperate situation that lacks clarity. I was there less than a week ago.  I felt like I was in a dark fog.  I asked God for understanding, and I didn’t have to wait too long before light began to permeate my dark landscape. He illumined what had been shadowed, and I started to enjoy clearer vision. He put a magnifying glass over the twisted strands of thread, and all of a sudden, I could see the steps I needed to take to untangle what was knotted.  

How about you?  Yesterday, perhaps you felt lost. Today, you discovered God’s plan. Yesterday, you grasped at spiritual straws. Today, some puzzle pieces have clicked into place. Yesterday, you had faith but no vision. Today, your prayers have precision, and you can see Jesus’ footprints before you.

Right now, the Light of the world is affecting other people’s dark landscapes. He’s curing spiritual blindness and allowing an unbeliever to see the glory of Jesus. He’s lighting up a concept that correctly diagnoses what has held another captive. For a Bible teacher, He’s enlightening a passage and imparting spiritual understanding. For a mother on her knees, He is unveiling the spiritual condition of her child so that she can apply spiritual cures. For a business owner sitting alone at his desk, overwhelmed, God is revealing the reasons for the discord within his company and leading him to replace worldly business strategies with kingdom principles.

Light is a life-saving thing, is it not? When God gives it, confusion loses its throne, and darkness is forced to yield. The Light of the world does not merely brighten a room; He exposes, heals, guides, and resurrects what was buried in shadows. 

Oh, Light of the world, You entered my darkness with authority and mercy.  Thank you!  Amen
