Read 1 John 1:5.
It is impossible for God to sin. God is light and in him there is no darkness or sin. This verse emphasizes that no matter how dark the world may seem, the light of Christ cannot be extinguished. Darkness can never over take light. The very definition of darkness is the absence of light. This is true in the physical world as well as the spiritual realm. This week the Artemis 2 astronauts were reflecting on their mission and one of them was struck by how dark the universe is and how much light comes from Earth. No matter how dark our world may be, Christ is the light that shines through. Christ’s presence illuminates our path and guides us through the darkness.
To embrace the light of Christ, we must remain connected to Him through prayer, Scripture, and obedience. In this way, we allow His truth to shape our lives. This means choosing to act with kindness, hope, and faith, even when circumstances seem bleak. As we walk in His light, we reflect His light to those around us helping others find their way in the darkness, too.
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer for today: “Dear LORD, thank You for being the light that shines in the darkness. Help me to trust in Your truth and to reflect Your light in my life. May I be a course of hope and encouragement to those around me, shining brightly in a world that often feels dark. Amen.”
