And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. – Genesis 1:2-4
Before we are born again, we are without form and void. Another way to say this is that we are without purpose and void of Light. Spiritually, we have have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). But God wants to divide the light from the darkness in us. Remember what Jesus said about light and darkness.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. – Luke 11:34-35
We are all born for a purpose. We might seek to find it somewhere in the world, or deep within ourselves. We seek purpose through our relationships, or career, or in gaining knowledge. It is so easy to be led into this type of thinking. We have been told many times,”Be true to yourself”, or “Follow your dreams”, or “Do what you are passionate about”. But are we really complete in the right relationship, or the best career, or in learning as much as we can about ourselves and the world? We may get some satisfaction from those things, and care deeply about them. But we are truly only complete in Jesus Christ.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. – Colossians 2:10
The true Light of knowledge is in Jesus. By drawing close to Him and allowing His Light to shine upon your heart and mind, you will find your purpose in this world.
Prayer for today: Lord God, divide the light from darkness in me. Let your light shine upon my heart, mind, and life. I do not have all of the answers, but you do, and I am complete in you. Help me to know you. I ask this in your Name, Lord Jesus.
