God is our light


Sunday 30th September 2018



'The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?' Psalm 27:1 NIV



Darkness can represent evil, fear and the unknown. Sometimes we feel like we're in darkness, that we can't see which direction to go in, or can't see a way out. Light brings all the opposites: good, peace and guidance. When light replaces darkness, suddenly we see where we are and where we should go.
God is light. When we bring him into a dark situation, his light changes things. The Bible says: 'My God turns my darkness into light' (Psalm 18:28 NIV). His light shows us which way to go and how to get closer to him. 'Send me your light and truth to guide me. Let them lead me to... where you live' (Psalm 43:3 NCV). And when we do feel like we're in darkness, there's no need to fear. David wrote: 'The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear' (Psalm 27:1 NIV); and it's echoed in Romans: 'If God is for us, who can be against us' (Romans 8:31 NIV)? Light has ultimately overcome the darkness, so we don't need to be afraid. We can confidently say the same as David: 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me' (Psalm 23:4 NIV).
No darkness is greater than God's light and no evil can overcome God's goodness. We've got God on our side, so who can be against us?

So what now? Sit in a dark room, and light a candle. Ask God to bring his light into any dark areas you have in your life.
