A Daily Devotional – Meditate on the Light
Comment: The world in which we live is driven by
DARKNESS. This darkness is not physical, it is SPIRITUAL. “For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the DARKNESS of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” Ephesians 6:12; please consider reading the context Ephesians 6:10-20.
Devotional: One SERIOUS sin that many children of
God commit is the SIN of COMPLACENCY. A certain smugness of “I am okay, the
world around me is all wrong” This is not “Spirituality” it is however “self-satisfaction”
this attitude is just as full of the darkness as that of the unbelieving world. In
other words; this smug attitude is one of the wrestling matches that the devil wins by crippling
the children of God in the age of which we now live and this is the
dispensation of the EKKLESIA, the CHURCH.
The word ‘ekklesia’ literally
means ‘called out’ so the question that might arise in our thinking is; called
out of what? “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who
called you out of DARKNESS into His marvelous LIGHT.” 1 Peter2:9. We believed
God, this pleased God and through His Son did the rest, this same FAITH is from the very beginning of time; Hebrews 11:6 so just as FAITH was active from the dawn
of History, Hebrews 11:4-7, it is active in the church today, faith is made real by humble
obedience to the LIGHT.
