2 Corinthians 4:6 For God\, who said\, \"Le t light shine out of darkness\,\" has shone in our hearts to give us the l ight of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus the Messiah. But we have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power c omes from God and not from us. In every way\, we are troubled but not crus hed\, frustrated but not in despair\, persecuted but not abandoned\, struc k down but not destroyed.
\nIn all your thoughts of your Creator and your Redeemer\, in all your efforts to know Him by His Son\, remember tha t the true knowledge of God is something above sense and reason. God revea ls Himself to the longing heart as the light shines on the opened eye crea ted for it. The light and spirit of heaven can fill all our hearts.
\nLet my whole heart be opened to Him\, to receive\, as a flower does the sun's light\, His secret\, mighty\, divine working in me. I trust this omn ipotent God to work out in me His every promise\, and I hold fast to the l ight\, blessing\, and joy of each one.
\nAs light was the beginning of the first creation\, so in the new creation\, the light of the Spirit i s His first work upon the soul. The treasure of gospel light and grace is put into earthen vessels. Matthew Henry
\nIn the beginning\, \"Let t here be light! and there was light\,\" was spoken then and is spoken now w ith creative power in God's Son\, and the presence and the light of Him be come the life and the light of the soul.
\nIsaiah 9:1
\nThe peo
ple who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those living in a
land of deep darkness\, a light has shined upon them.
