In The Light

Visiting my sister last night, she pointed to two hanging baskets on her front porch that I hung there several weeks ago. One plant had grown and was full of blooms while the other one seemed to have grown very little and had only one bloom. She & I decided the bloomier one was getting more sunlight, so we switched their locations on the porch. It shouldn't take too long to see how smart we are!

SonLight exposure is pretty important to God. Look at a few of the references to light He made in His Word:

Romans 13:12 - "let us put on the armour of light"
2 Corinthians 6:14 - "what communion hath light with darkness"
Ephesians 5:8 - "now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light"
Ephesians 5:14 - "Christ shall give thee light."
1 Thessalonians 5:5 - "Ye are all the children of light"
1 John 1:5 - "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all"
1 John 1:7 - "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another"
Revelation 21:23 - "the Lamb is the light thereof"
Revelation 22:5 - "And there shall be no night there ... for the Lord God giveth them light"

God is serious about His Light. Remember, He sent The Light of all lights -- Jesus Christ. I think He wants us to know light is important. In a few weeks, maybe even days, Deb and I will know if our little switch-a-roo on the porch matters. A little more exposure to The SonLight in our Christian Walk is sure to make a difference!
