Psalms 36:9
The scripture for today is Psalms 36:9
Psalms 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light shall we see light.
The light of God was manifested to the world through His Son. “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4 The presence of Christ reveals the light of God and that light dispels the darkness wherever it appears. “This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 We are in the light as we are in Him.
God does not expect any of us to live a mediocre life; He expects us to live an abundant life, a life filled with the life of God. He did not give the best of Heaven, in the sacrifice of His Son, so that we might receive something less. No, Jesus said “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 He is our dwelling place; His light shines in us. “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;” Acts 17:28 God, in Christ, became like us so that we could be transformed into the likeness of His dear Son. His life and light shine through every child of God. If there is no light, God isn’t manifested there. But, because we abide in Him and He in us, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 It is the presence of God in us that produces the works of God which shine forth the light of God which is visible to all.
God is not only the one to whom we pray, He is the one in whom we abide.
God bless you as you continue in His service.
Tim
