BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Genesis 1:3, NKJV

Bible Verse for Today 4 September 2022 MESSAGE

Light is one of God’s first words recorded for us in the Bible. As the Spirit of God hovered over a dark, formless, and empty Earth, God introduced light into His creation, saying, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). He said the light was good, which the rest of Scripture bears out: the psalmist explains that God’s words illuminate our understanding (Psalm 119:130), and Jesus refers to Himself as “the light of the world,” the giver of the light of life (John 8:12).

God’s first utterance in the work of creation was to give light. That wasn’t because He needed light to do His work; no, the light was for us. Light enables us to see Him and to identify His fingerprints on the creation around us, to discern what is good from what is not, and to follow Jesus one step at a time in this vast world.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Thank You, Jesus, for being the light of life, who illuminates the path for me every day.
