It’s easy to get discouraged at the direction the world is taking and disheartened by at all the ungodly changes around is. It can be shocking to see how people are living and the decisions they are making. But it shouldn’t surprise us. After all, what can we expect from people without Jesus, with no hope or meaning, no light, no forgiveness and no purpose in life? Without Jesus I’d be like them. I sometimes wonder why it isn’t worse! The world would be worse without the Holy Spirit restraining sin (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7). We can’t forget our world is Satan’s system, and he motivates it by his self-centered and evil principles (Ephesians 2:2).
When you leave Satan’s army and join God’s army you change kingdoms. Everything is different. It’s like being parachuted behind enemy lines. We are infiltrators here to work against, even overthrow, the reigning world system from within. No wonder we are attacked, oppressed` and don’t feel like we fit in. We don’t, unless we hide our light and pretend to live in darkness as others do.
Unfortunately, too many people of the light do just that to fit in and avoid rejection and criticism. But when we let our light shine, it draws attacks from the darkness because darkness hates light and wants nothing to do with it. Remember “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…”? Are you doing that?
Matthew 5:14-15 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
John 1:15 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”.
Are you actively fighting the forces of evil by shining Jesus’ light whenever and wherever you can, or do you keep it hidden so you can get along better with those living in darkness?
