Revelation

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it"- John 1:5 (NIV).

Accepting that I have nighttime vision problems has not been easy for me. Being restricted to daylight hours, reduces my opportunities to get most things, outside the home, done before dusk arrives; especially, during the winter months. There is a different type of darkness that robs us of opportunities: Darkness only the devil can produce. It's a thick, heavy blanket that Satan throws over us to spiritually blind us, to restrict us from God's work; but, today's Scripture comforts us in knowing that darkness in our life is defeated by God's Light. God's Light throws off the darkness, granting us freedom, but more importantly, revelation. God reveals Himself when darkness veils us; He unravels the blanket of darkness until we are shrouded in His Light. This is a truth, plainly spoken: "When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, "I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life" (John 8:12). God, in His mercy, covers us with Light; with Jesus.
