Light be!

“Light be!” was God’s first creative command (GENESIS 1:3). In that instance, the switch was turned on, and the darkness displaced. Since that moment, the darkness has never been able to overwhelm the light (JOHN 1:5). The “upright”—those depending on Christ’s goodness as their own—will journey through dark passages, seasons of trial and tribulation. But they will discover that down in the jaws of deep, God will speak once more His “Light be!” and their night will be bright as day (PSALM 139:12).
