Positive Quote for the Week-A Light in Darkness

As children of God we have been taken out of darkness and out of the hand of the enemy and now have been placed into the Lord’s marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 tells us, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

As we dive into this verse of Scripture we understand that the Lord didn’t save you out of darkness so that you can keep it to yourself. He wants you to share with others what He did for you because there are so many people that do not know Him. Every human life counts and you may be their only chance at salvation. The fact is, everywhere you go nowadays you are going to come across evil and wickedness. The devil isn’t hiding anymore, but he is out in the open for everyone to see!

That is why it is critical that you make it a point to shine God’s light and keep His light shining in the midst of the darkness. People should know that you are a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ the moment that they come into contact with you. The way that you present yourself, the way that you walk, the way that you talk, and the love that you show should all be dead giveaways of Whom you belong to.

The people that spend time around you should say, “There’s something different about you.” It is a complete blessing to have been called by the Lord to be used as His vessel. The question is: are you exhibiting the characteristics worthy of His calling? Are you the light of the world?

Ephesians 4:1-4 makes it clear what those characteristics should look like when the Apostle Paul writes, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling.”

Scriptures about being a vessel of the Lord:

Acts 9:15 “But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.”

2 Corinthians 4:7 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.”

Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

2 Timothy 2:21 “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Romans 9:21 “Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?”
