Wikipedia States light as this -
Light is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.So, we see that Light is a radiant energy and it is responsible for our sense of sight.
It also has another meaning which is - 'the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible'So, we now see that Light is very important to our everyday lives. Without it, we wouldn't be able to see, let alone figure out our everyday journeys. Living in Darkness is like living a life without God,
Let's take a look at what the bible says about Light
John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Genesis 1: 3 - 5
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Matthew 5:13 - 16
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket , but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
So, what are we trying to get at here? Let's look from a more logical view. The Underground is full of dark tunnels, not many people would actually walk through it, which is why we have trains to take us to and from each station. The Train has lights at the front and inside every carriage, which first, helps the driver to see the way forward and plus for everyone in the carriage to see what's happening around them. The Perfect Solution but what if now, that light went out? Yes, the train would most likely crash.
If the lights were at the back of the train, we would get the same result.
From a heavenly perspective, God is the light to our path, he is the light to our darkness, the light of the world. For us to also recieve light, we must connect with God.
God shines a light onto our dark situations and helps us see a way out, he also helps us to see things in advance so we can prepare and pray.
God's light is never ending, it shines bright 24/7, it illuminates the whole world which is why he can truly see everything.
Ephesians 5:8 states that we were once in Darkness but now he have been called into light, we must be Children of Light. This means that we are now the Light to someone's darkness.
God’s light within us affects our neighbours, work colleagues and pretty much everyone we come into contact with but it isn't limited to people. Everywhere we go, we will be bringing Light everywhere with us, darkness has no other choice but to give way. Our effect on the world is more than we could ever imagine. For one person's darkness, you are a thousand lights. Our impact is not because of our works, or our emotions, it is simply because we are Children of God and as Children of God, his light will shine through us.
Acts 17:26 states that God determines our future. He also takes pleasure where we reside and who we reside with. He also take great detail in placing us into certain areas. All these decisions were made before we were created so to God where we are now is not a surprise to him. All the things concerning our life i.e. Work, Finance, Households etc are all important and he wants his light to shine so bright that he will put us in situations where his light will shine bright.
We have the ability to light up any dark situation, our impact will have so much power on the world.
Light has so much power, it has power to light up any dark place no matter how big or small a room is so get connected to the light. Get connected to God and he will surely lighten up your life.
The Power of Light
