Genesis 1:3-5 “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness he called ‘night.’
Now, we can look at this as the first day and move onto the next verse and see what else God created. Or, we can stop and look deeper. God spoke and light obeyed. He did not speak darkness, he spoke light. The darkness was separtated from the light. They were not allowed to coexist. Our spiritual lives can be seen in the same way, but too often we coexist. God is our light, Satan is the darkness. Okay, you read and say, ‘No way do I coexist with Satan!’, but where does your household stand in this economy? Where are your worries with H1N1? Do you fret and worry, changing your budgets just in case you lose your job, or do you continue in your lifestyle that God has blessed you with. Yes, God gave us common sense, but take claim over the job you have. Do not worry is the command our Lord gives us. He conquers our enemy! How about your weekend fun? Has it been cut short because you are afraid of going places where you may catch the flu?!?! Satan wants us to worry over all these things. The news is a place crawling with Satan’s germs. It is there to put fear into people. Step back into the light! Do not give into the darkness. Stand on what we know is fact. God is our foundation and our way. Claim victory over your home and family. Do not entertain the enemy by fearing to enjoy and celebrate your healthy and wealthy family. Let the darkness flee from your life. Hold onto the peace that God has for you. Darkness is dark, black, and dreary. I prefer to stand in the light, where it is white, bright, and hopeful.

This is a good devotional. It would help lots if you broke it down into more paragraphs and space between them. Would make it easier to read. I love walking in the Light.

And when trouble comes to the steadfast Christian, God is there too, even in the darkness, holding him or her fast.

very good viewpoint "God spoke and light obeyed. He did not speak darkness, he spoke light. The darkness was separtated from the light." personally, I hadn't looked at it that way. thank you.

Hmmmmm...nevertheless, Christians DO get sick, and lose jobs...but we definitely can stand in the light of Christ's love through it all.

Thought-provoking devotional!
