Truly Good!

I never get tired of watching sunrises. It is amazing how quickly the darkness is chased away when the sun begins to rise. Quietly, yet powerfully, LIGHT just does the thing God created it to do.

In the beginning we read. . .
"(3) And God said, 'Let there BE LIGHT,' and there WAS LIGHT. (4) And God saw that THE LIGHT WAS GOOD. And God SEPARATED the LIGHT from the DARKNESS." ( Genesis 1:3-4 ESV)

Did you notice that the "LIGHT WAS GOOD", but that was not said of the darkness? God made a separation between the LIGHT and the darkness. They don't mix. As soon as LIGHT is brought in, the darkness is dispelled. That is the power of LIGHT! It is more powerful than darkness. Such is characteristic of the LIGHT of truth as well. That ought to encourage us.

Paul asked, "What fellowship does light have with darkness?" ( 2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV) It has none. As LIGHT and darkness do not co-exist, neither is good and evil to coexist in our life. LIGHT dispels darkness because LIGHT is more powerful than darkness. Such is also a powerful characteristic of God Who brought the LIGHT into existence, for John declared, ". . . that GOD IS LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all." ( 1 John 1:5 ESV) There cannot be. And that is to become the essence of our being as well. As LIGHT chases out the darkness, so "good" is to expel the evil from our life. May we experience how "truly good" the LIGHT is in all aspects of its connection with our life as we resolve to walk in the LIGHT of God.

Have a great day APPRECIATING THE SEPARATION GOD PROVIDES!
