Reading my bible notes today it was about Moses.You remember the story of how Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh to ask him to let Gods people go. Today was about the darkness in the Land.for 3 days but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Praying afterwards and thinking upon this I had a picture come to my mind. A person was walking down a path that stretched out in front of them. The light was on them making each step visible  but all around them was darkness. In that darkness ‘things’ were trying to grab that person , reaching out trying to touch them.

My first reaction was could this be a picture of us as Christians. We are walking in the light, Christs light and the dark is all around us always. The devil is always trying to grab at us and trip us up. Cause us to look to him instead of God, to look at the dark and not the light. To cause us to sin and rebel against our Heavenly Father but then I had another thought.

We as Christians are in Gods light, we are all walking down the path of life were God is with us , guiding us and calling us to be Christ’s light to those around us. Maybe that picture was of people in our lives that are in the dark. That don’t know God , that are trying to find him. Could be people at work, friends, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters? Anyone? They need to find God and may be we are the only Christians they will meet, will Christ’s love and light shine through us? Will we share the Gospel with those we meet and love?

I came home from work tonight and I just love the way God confirms things sometimes. I picked up another book that I read on daily notes in the evening and yes you’ve guessed it , it was about Dark and Light. (Dr David Jeremiah – Hope for Today devotionals) Jesus when He went to heaven passed His light to His followers. You are (now) the light of the world….. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt 5v14-16) Every Christ like word and deed from you dispels an equal amount of darkness. Let Christ shine through you today.

So let’s be obedient to God and let His light shine in this dark world through our words and actions. Let’s share Gods light and love where ever we go.
