COME TO ME for all that you need. Come into My Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to My treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that I am Good. I am Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that I am entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity (Supreme being).
Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to Me with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that I cannot provide.

Scripture Insight: Psalm 95:2 and 1 John 1:5
(Jesus Calling / Sarah Young)
Psalm 95:2 - "Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song" (New International Version)
ReplyDelete1 John 1:5 - "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all" (New International Version)
Light represents what is good, pure, true, holy and reliable. Darkness represents what is sinful and evil. This statement "God is light" means that God is perfectly holy and true and that he alone can guide us out of the darkness of sin. Light is also related to truth in that light exposes whatever exists, whether it is good or bad. In the dark, good and evil look alike; in the light, they can be clearly distinguished. Just as darkness cannot exist in the presence of light; sin cannot exist in the presence of a holy God.
