The Choice!

There it was--the true Light [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone. JOHN 1:9 AMP

Today's extract is the testimony of someone who has met and experienced the genuine article. S/he has encountered the true Light, which is the focus of today's piece. Why is this understanding so important?

The verses before this talks about someone who is the fundamental piece to all of creation. He is the One through whom the whole earth is created. He is the One who sustains it till now, holding all in place by the power of the same Word used to create it all. He is referred to as 'Word'; 'God'; 'Light'; 'Life' all through the few introductory verses. As I examine these  descriptions, I realise that he is all I need to successfully navigate through life. He has spoken into the earth all I will ever need in my life's journey. All he requires for me is to trust him and walk with him daily.

There are lights, and there is the True Light. There are pretenders, and there is the real deal. Some have come, claiming the throne, yet not able to stand the test of time. Some have come, made some noise, and disappeared without a trace. And then, there is the real deal, at work since creation, and still at work now, imparting his life into every life he creates. For all of us who are alive today, what holds us up isn't so much about our ability, but God's power and Life.

In this reality, a choice must be made. What would I focus on - my inabilities or God's power? His light has been made available to me, fully and freely. All I can do is allow him work in me all that he intends and purposes. That is the secret to a fulfilled life, not so much in physical possessions and connections, but in divine connection and approval. His time of favour is here.
