Light In Darkness

They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
Job 12:25 NIV
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
Matthew 4:16 NIV
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV
We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19 NIV
to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Acts 26:18 NIV
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
Ephesians 5:8 NIV
You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
2 Samuel 22:29 NIV
“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
Acts 2:36 NIV

May the light of Christ
Awaken the candle within
That is flickering in hope
Sometimes the wind has
Been felt as if its gonna burn
But then comes darkness back to distinguish
My friend I pray this wind of Christ
Brings a constant source of everlasting
Strength of wind and true oil from the good tree.
That the light within sets ablaze
To dwell within your lighthouse 
To reveal the darkness 
One once walked in
And the darkness all around one.

Valsa George Date: 4/12/2023 9:47:00 PM There is a small light within each one of us. It has only a fluttering flame and can die out anytime. Unless it is fanned by the wind of Christ and strengthened by the oil of His love, it cannot grow into a steady flame. Let us try to keep it ablaze. Love the analogy here. You are a lamp in darkness, dear Stephan. Login to Reply Stephan McBride Date: 4/13/2023 6:40:00 AM Amen, so very true in your comments, All glory to God my dear friend, : )
