LET THERE BE LIGHT

Genesis 1
Ge 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Ge 1:2
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.

Ge 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

God starting by giving light into a dark and void world.
Lets start by understanding what LIGHT really is..........

LIGHT.....according to ...WEBSTER
1 a : something that makes vision possible
b. something that enlightens or informs
c. a medium (as a window) through which light is admitted
d. a noteworthy person in a particular place or field

This world once was void and dark ; .......
Ge 1:2
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.

This spirit moved upon the face of the waters!!!!!! wow what a spirit. God did indeed create this world he only SPOKE the words "Let there be light and there was light". Now He spoke this world into existence, created by him and for him.

Col 1:16
For by him were ALL THINGS CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Ps 147:11
The LORD taketh PLEASURE in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

"Let there be light" is one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, but it was actually proclaimed by God twice -
1....the first time, as quoted in Gen.1:3 , at the beginning of Creation this light gave physical light on the world;
2....the second time when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to give spiritual light to a dark and sinful world.

Joh 12:44
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

Joh 12:45
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

Joh 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.........(refer back to webster difination of light a,b,c, & d they all point to Jesus)

Joh 12:47
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

again Jesus refered to as the LIGHT of the world.......

Joh 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

You know just as there are animals or creatures that do not like light, do not come into the light they are nocturnal by nature. That is to say they come out at night or work only in darkness .Satan hates the light and would destroy it .......IF possible.But we know this has been tried and failed he will never destroy the almighty or his children. However, there are people out there who HATE the light, hate Jesus who will not come into the light and wants nothing to do with those that do...God will give every one a chance . He made a way for us to escape , the choice is up to us..

Joh 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Light is bright and powerful. Did you know there are colors that the natural eye cannot see these referred to as ultraviolet light. Some animals, such as bees, can see UV radiation while others, such as pit viper snakes, can see infrared light. Bees work and makes honey ..... Satan see the light also and that is why he see you.
Nu 14:8
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and HONEY.
The UV light is there we cant't see it but stay in the sun to long and you will feel the effects of it. We can't see Jesus but walk in the light of Him and you will feel HIM. There is a seperation of good and bad .......

Ge 1:4
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the DARKNESS.
Ge 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the DARKNESS he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Ge 1:18
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the DARKNESS: and God saw that it was good.

Jesus rules over the day ( the light...those that walk in the light )
Satan rules over the night ( the darkness... those that walk there)

Joh 1:5
And the LIGHT SHINETH in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Mt 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

For 'let your light so shine' We have to let the Light shine in this world which is growing increasingly darker and darker. A world which seems to be returning to a dark and void state, a world without LIGHT. You can be a bright light. In fact you may be the only light some people ever see, the only BIBLE some people ever read. Be HOly ...
Ro 11:16
For if the firstfruit BE HOLY, the lump is also holy: and if the root BE HOLY, so are the branches

Mt 5:16
LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

SHINE, SHINE, SHINE, SHINE, SHINE, SHINE,

BLESSING OF THE DAY: MAY YOU WALK IN THE LIGHT, MAY YOU FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE LIGHT. MAY YOU NOT BE AFRAID NOR DOUBT. MAY YOU LISTEN TO WHAT HE IS TRYING TO TELL YOU. MAY YOU GO FORTH AND SHINE
