"You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9

Let There Be Light
God's first words were, "let there be light." from the very beginning, God separated light and darkness. not just physical, but spiritual. 1 john 1:5 says "God is light. in Him there is no darkness." Jesus also said, "I am the light of the world. he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." so, God is light. Jesus is light. what about us? what are we to do? ephesians 5:8 clarifies, "walk as children of Light." 1 peter 1:16 says, "be holy (separated), for I am holy (separated)." we are called to be holy, separated from darkness, letting our light shine. why? "that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (matthew 5:16) and "that you may proclaim His praises!" (1 peter 2:9) how will i proclaim His praises today?
