Darkness Cannot Defeat Light

Our eyes have an amazing ability to adjust to darkness.  Although our eyes can adjust, our eyesight is much better in the light.  After resting for eight hours; okay, let's be realistic, more like six on a good night; we have a difficult time adjusting to a well-lit room.  We adapted to the darkness and now must reacquaint our eyes to light. 

I heard a man from my church say, "The darker the night, the brighter the light."  Think about that saying.  It is true.  The darker environment your eyes experience, the brighter the light will seem because of the extreme change.  Surround yourself in a dim environment, then increase the light to the same intensity and the adjustment will not be as difficult; therefore, the light will not seem as bright.

Which offers a safer environment, light or dark?  Little can hide in a well-lit environment.  Our eyes see clearly the way to go without hitting any roadblocks or stepping on any traps.  A vehicle requires headlights to function safely at night.  Headlights allow the driver to see the road, warn others of its presence and guide a person to a destination. 

No matter if you are driving, walking, flying or boating; lights are a must to see clearly the way to travel.  Darkness will never win against the light!

Use this analogy in your spiritual life.  Your soul requires light.  God provides that light and those living in His light cannot hide in darkness.  Satan can use anything hidden in darkness to steal, kill and destroy.  Take a stand today and do not allow a dark environment in your soul. 

No matter the level of darkness, God's light will overpower and His Truth will help you adjust smoothly to living in the light.  Satan's darkness will never win against His light!  Use Him to light your path, shine brightly for others to see and guide you to your Eternal destination.

Today is the day to adjust to living in the light.  Run to Him to help brighten your soul.  Begin reading His Word and you will see clearly the path to travel.  Truth will help you see any roadblocks or traps laid by Satan.  He will meet you wherever you are to bring you to the path laid for your life.  He will shine in your life if only asked and invited.

 "Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
   who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
They rejoice in your name all day long;
   they celebrate your righteousness." (Psalm 89:15-16)

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

"If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out 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, his Son, purifies us from all sin." (1 John 1:6-7)

God, thank you for another day.  Thank You for your light which shines brightly on my path.  Keep all darkness from my soul.  Defeat the lies and evil schemes of Satan by Your light and Truth.  I love You.

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
