Light is a special part of life. And, Jesus as The Light of this world, is
more than just special…He brings the spectacular to life. Walking in The Light is our choice to take on
Christ’s spectacular Life.
Michael shows us the difference between Light and
darkness, and how our enemy tries to steal (the big thief) our walk in
Jesus/Light.
DAY 241
Separating
Light From Dark
God set them in the
expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night,
and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. --Genesis 1:17 &
18
The day that you received Jesus you received everything.
How could you not? He is,
actually, everything. Colossians
1:16, “For by Him all things were created, {both} in the heavens and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities--all things have been created by Him and for Him.” Each day, since that first
day, it has been the mission of the Holy Spirit to convince you that you are
lacking in nothing. In
opposition, Satan has taken it upon himself to convince you that you are
lacking in everything, to persuade you that your job, mate, kids,
situation, physical appearance, and position in life are all substandard. He
also has to convince you that holiness, mercy, fellowship, maturity, blessings,
and forgiveness must all be worked for, his goal being to have you so consumed with what you
think you do not have that you will never recognize what you do have.
Sometimes I feel as
though my office, wherever I happen to have it set up, is a place where light
and darkness meet, and it is God’s gracious work to separate the two. My job is to witness to the
work of the Spirit, the Jesus that is in believers. So many come to my office
possessing so much, and yet they cannot see the blessings for obsessing on the
negatives. They are men with beautiful families, children that are not
rebellious, financial security, and a wife who puts up with and even loves
them, despite their goofy behavior. Yet the devil has blinded them to the point
that they cannot see positives in any of it; they sit there recounting the
offenses they have had in life, the people who have let them down, and their
failed attempts to be Christian. Every preacher must learn to be free from the fear of repetition.
I am! What gets a person’s
attention gets him! We
are to obsess on what is true, right, pure, and lovely. I guess everyone
is just self-centered enough to think only about himself! We mingle light and darkness to
the point where we do not know the difference and all of life is gray. Pray for a word from Him that would
separate the two!

It has been my experience for almost 40 years to encounter so many
Saints who do not know “who they are IN CHRIST,” or “who Christ is IN THEM.” Therefore, it seems they obsess on the
negatives, believe they are lacking in virtually everything, don’t recognize
what they do have, and life is a “dark gray” for many.
Jesus is Light. All Saints have
Jesus. Therefore, all Saints have
Light. Light takes away darkness…Saints
have to “hide themselves from Jesus (Light)” to walk in darkness. Not much of a life (no pun intended…all
Saints HAVE THE LIFE!).
I like Michael’s two directives: “we are to obsess on what is true,
right, pure, and lovely”…and, “pray for a word from Him” that would separate us
from any darkness and to a focus on Jesus/Light.
Jesus, Who is the Light, says His words are Life…Jesus, give us a word of
Life from You to Light our way!
