Overcoming the Darkness

John 12:46
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

When we receive Our Savior into our lives, the darkness of our sin is washed away.  But due to our sin nature, we are certain to make choices that are according the world’s standards and not Our Lord's.  Thus we invite darkness to come back into our lives.  Fortunately, darkness cannot exist in the fullness of light.  With the Light of the World present in us, we are guaranteed a complete victory over darkness.

In our new lives in Christ, we can see clearly the darkness that the world is offering us.  We are able to overcome our natural ignorance about sin.  We are able to walk in the light of truth, faith and holiness.  We are able to walk this path of enlightenment on this earth until the day we die.  Then darkness flees from us forever as we enter the eternal kingdom of God.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing the way, the truth and the life that is Your Son, Jesus, so that we can have victory over the darkness in our lives.  We bless the name of Jesus and pray for the wisdom, understanding and counsel that we need to rely daily on Your Son, who came as the Light of the World.  May we be set free from the darkness of sin, whether it be by ignorance or error.  May Your grace allow us to live in the light rather than in the misery of the darkness.  May we become broken vessels that allow Your light to shine through to those around us who are still living in darkness.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.
