Day and Night

I am sure you have all heard the expression, "As different as day and night". We use that to describe things that are completely opposite. Let me give you an example. My wife is very pretty. As a matter of fact, I tell folks that, together, she and I are pretty good - she is pretty and I am good. So, as far as looks go, we are as different as day and night.

There are tons of things that are completely opposites; and some of those we should do, and some we should not. We know that they are different and that we shouldn't be doing them, yet, we do them anyway. That, my friend, is called sin.

Today's word is from 1 Thessalonians 5:5, NIV, which reads, "You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness."

As children of GOD, we are children of light, children of the day. We should be different from the rest of the world. We should be a beacon for the lost, helping to direct them to the safe harbor of JESUS CHRIST. Now, I fail at this as much as anyone. This verse, however, is a great reminder of what I should be.

There is a lot of darkness in this world. It seems that with each passing day, the world gets a little darker and a little darker. All it takes, though, is a little light - be the light! We are children of light, children of the day. We don't belong to the night or to the darkness. LORD, may our lights shine!

Be Blessed,
