When I was in Viet Nam, those who smoked were told to make sure that if they light up at night to make sure that they did so under their poncho. The reason is that no matter how dark it is out, the smallest flicker of light can be seen miles away. Light will always over power darkness and it is the same in our Spiritual life. If we are walking in darkness we are going to stumble because of that darkness. If we are living in the light we will be able to see things clearly and avoid stumbling.
John tell us that if we know belong to Jesus we should walk as He walked. Jesus said that He is the light of the world and if we belong to Him we will walk in that light.
John; 1:4-5
(In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.)
Darkness can not overcome light and keep it from shining. Neither can the spiritual forces of darkness over come the light of the Son of God.
If we are living our life for Jesus our Lord and Savior and have put our trust in Him, then we are a light among those who are living in darkness. We can tell them about Jesus and what He has done for us and them and lead them to the Light. Only Jesus is able to bring a person out of the darkness of sin and into the Light of life. Like the song some of us learned in Sunday school, "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine!" This should be our goal to let our light shine in a dark world. People will come to the light to see what it is we have and then they will decide if they want to stay in the light or live in the darkness.
Let's be a witness for Jesus by letting His light shine through us. When others ask what we have that makes us shine, tell them that it is Jesus in our life and knowing that He has saved from the penalty of sin. There is life in no other and there is no other light than Him.
God Bless You!
