Today’s Scripture…
1 John 1:5-10
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
Thoughts..
Have you ever heard the song “Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel? Do you know the words? They start out, “Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again.” It goes on to describe a place where people are merely existing and silenced by some ‘powers that be’. This is exactly where Satan wants to imprison us. This is the darkness and silence he tries to convince us is a safe and happy place. A place of blissful ignorance.
God on the other hand wants us to wake up and live in the light. He wants us to know we have the keys to our cell in our grasp. We just have to stop the silence. Open your mouth and confess your sins! Embrace the light! Then let it shine through you and let it lead others out of the darkness.
Please! Don’t let the darkness silence you!
