INVINCIBLE

READING: EPHESIANS 5:8-14

Verse 8: “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Walk as children of light.” 

When the interactions between light and darkness are examined, there are consistent and predictable results and effects. These results and effects also hold true for spiritual interactions between the light of God and spiritual darkness. Both physically and spiritually, light dominates over darkness. Where there is light darkness cannot exist. Darkness occurs only when light is removed. It cannot invade a place where there is light. In fact, one definition given for darkness is that it is the absence of light. The darkness in even the darkest of situations is penetrated by even only a slender thread of light. Darkness simply cannot resist light. It can’t negotiate, bargain or offer compromise. It can only dissipate! There is no contest between these two qualities because of the complete domination of light. The power and dominance of this reality attributes to us in our spiritual lives as Christians. We have a powerful assignment as ordained in the verse above. As we are empowered to walk as children of light we are made formidable overcomers. Spiritual darkness is overcome in the light of the Lord. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
