We live in an age where the distinction of day and night has become ambiguous. The discovery of electricity has changed our living standards and we have lost the appreciation for the sun. We rarely await the rising sun at dawn and we don’t appreciate seeing the sun rise from afar. We live in an age where we like night better than day.
Likewise, the light that illuminates our life comes from God, but we live without acknowledging this truth and live contently without God.
God tells us that we are the light in this world as we reflect God’s glory to the world. God wants to reveal and speak to the world through all our actions.
Passage to read: Ephesians 5:1-14
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
10 and find out what pleases the Lord.
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
1. Did you think of Jesus when you woke up this morning?
2. What is God’s message to you?
3. What do you need to obey?
4. What are you grateful for today?

Light that drives out darkness
