Genesis 1: 1 – 3
The Word: Genesis 1: 1 – 3 (KJV)
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Dig Deeper:
Isaiah 60: 1 -2 (KJV)
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Think about it
LET THERE BE LIGHT
The opposite of darkness is light.
Darkness is undesirable and unpleasant not only because there is no visibility but because it can stand for certain negative things. Darkness can represent gloom, secrecy, evil or terror.
Darkness is the absence of Light. Without a shadow of doubt the presence of light is good. In Gen 1:4 God saw the light he created and said it was good. So light is a good thing. When there is physical darkness, movement is hindered because one cannot see properly. When there is spiritual darkness there will be lack of direction, demonic activities will be rife, sicknesses, affliction, oppression, poverty will be rife. Today we shall be asking for the light of God in our homes.
