Walking in the Light

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7 (NKJV)

Some people walk in the darkness, because they actually love the darkness. They avoid the light, because it would expose the actions and choices of their lives that they would rather remain hidden. Obviously, God gives us the free will to make such a choice; but, is it a wise decision? When you consider the heavy price that is paid in broken lives, regret and sorrow, a life lived in darkness is not a wise choice.

"God is light and in Him is no darkness at all!" God is everything that is good--everything that is hopeful--everything that is of love--everything that is of healing--everything that is holy, worthwhile, inspiring, beautiful, magnificent, glorious, lovely...light. The world is full of possibilities for those who walk in the light. Walking in the light as He is in the light is our opportunity to walk in the destiny that God has prepared for us. It is a wise choice.

The Bible tells us that our minds cannot even conceive (imagine) the great things that God has prepared for those that love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9) If that is true, and it is, I can conceive of some pretty amazing possibilities and yet my possibilities pale in comparison to the reality that God is preparing for me. What is the key to unlocking that door? "If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin!"

Prayer: "Magnificent Father of light, blessed be Your great name!" I know that the plans that You have for me are far better than the mundane plans that I settle for. You are the God of possibilities--possibilities that exceed my ability to imagine. Help me to drop any of the weights of sin or unbelief and to fully charge ahead as You lead. May I embrace all that You have prepared for me as we walk in the light together." Amen
