Light Switch

Light Switch

John 12:46 "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."

Have you ever walked into a completely dark room and instantly have your pulse quicken? Every noise is magnified and your imagination can just about make you crazy! The first thing that I do is slam my hand against the wall and search for the light switch.

Do you ever just ignore the switch and walk around in complete darkness? Of course not, at least most of us don't! There are way too many dangers that are hidden when there is no light. Even when you are comfortable with a room and live in it every day, you still want something to help you walk through it.

Why in our spiritual lives do we let the darkness flood us and not go searching for our "light switch"? Do you ever get comfortable with someone or something that is bringing you down? You find yourself in a place where you would rather live in darkness and keep them, than live in freedom and have to give them up. Why is it that people and activities slowly become more important than Jesus? You can find out if this is true by looking at the shadow that is cast in front of you…if it is the cross, then Jesus is right where you need Him to be! If there is any other shape that shows up, you know that something has crept into HIS spot!

Choices are a part of our daily lives. When we reach the end, how we lived and who we touched will be a direct result of how we chose to live, who we chose to invest in and who we chose to follow. It is all about us taking a deliberate step forward. You can't get into Heaven by accident; you don't accidentally fall through the gates. You will have to make a choice. No one can turn a light switch on for you. You have to be the one to do it, because in the end, it's about you and Jesus.

What has you living in the dark? Is there something in your life that is draining the light right out of you? It's time to put action into your words! Don't waste another day saying that you really need to change this or that! DO IT! Walk over to that switch and make it happen! God is like a spot light; just waiting to flood you with so much power…all you have to do is flip the switch!

John 3:20-21 "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
