A Light in the Darkness

The presence of evil is not the absence of God’s power in your life, but is proof that God’s power trumps wickedness, for the one who remains faithful to Him. 

Saints of God, your history tells a story & every story has a history. You had to go through what you went through to be who you are today! In the Kingdom of God, nothing is wasted! Every trial, every difficulty, every victory, paints the backdrop of your present circumstance and is the reason you are who you are today! 

The Word says in Psalm 1:6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Every great man or woman of God will be put in the fire and tested.

You will never know what you are made of until the heat gets turned up. Joseph found out there was a ruler inside of this rejected, discarded misjudged boy! Joseph was imprisoned on false charges, but never stopped being the light in the darkness. God worked through his yielded heart!

A yielded heart…this is the key to advancing through trials and becoming a light in the midst of darkness. 

Are you willing to stand and be a light in the midst of darkness? Remember that everything you do counts in the kingdom.Even a cup of cold water given in His name is like giving it to the Lord Himself.

2 Corinthians 4: 6 & 7 For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves.

The weight of your circumstance may feel crushing at times, but it will not crush you. 

2 Corinthians 4:8 & 9 … we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Ps. 34:19 

We must guard, our heart with all diligence for out of it flow the issues of life. Prov. 4:23 

God uses broken vessels for His glory 

Vessels who don’t give up when things are difficult but instead will stand in the face of trials and say, “Lord, no matter what I will serve you!”

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 

Being a light in the midst of darkness is remembering that you get to choose to shine Christ in everything you do or say every single day.

Live life bringing Christ glory daily. Watch Him raise you up to levels you never dreamed possible.
