Light in the Dwellings – Exodus 10:23
Exodus 10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days… but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. What a striking contrast. Egypt sat in a darkness so thick that no one could see another person, and no one even moved from his place for three…

Borrowed Light – Genesis 1:14-19
Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and…

Darkness Is Not the End – Genesis 1:5
Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. There is something beautiful in the way that verse is written. It does not say the morning and the evening were the first day. It says the evening and the morning…

From Darkness to Light – Genesis 1:3-4
Genesis 1:3-4 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. I love how direct this is. God speaks, and light appears. The Hebrew has that sharp, sudden feel to it. Light be. And light was.…

Fresh Light, Old Truth – 1 John 2:8-11
1 John 2:8-11 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth…

Walking Clean in the Light – 1 John 1:7
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. John ties two beautiful realities together in one verse. If we are walking in the light, there will be fellowship…

When Light Fills the Room – 1 John 1:6
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. John does not leave much room for pretending. He brings it right down to street level. A man can say all the right things, sit in church, open his Bible, talk about…

More Sure Than the Mountain – 2 Peter 1:19
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy…whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Peter says something that almost sounds impossible at first. He has just told us…
