Where will you live?

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.  (Isaiah 9:2).

Isaiah announced the coming of Christ:   In the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. 

Darkness . . .  hidden  . . . dishonesty . . . misery . . . oppression . . . hopelessness . 
LIGHT . . .  Revelation . . . Truth . . . Peace . . .Freedom . . . Hope. 

The questions is . . . where will you live . . . in the darkness or light?
To live in the Light, we make the choice to face the truth. Christ is Truth, revealing the darkness that resides within us. To be released from the darkness, we must become honest with ourselves and others.  When you get down to it, we are powerless to do it on our own:

‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty (Zechariah 4:6, TNIV)

 When we ask Christ to take control of our life . . . we are released and liberated from the power in the place of deep darkness . . . not by our own strength or power . . . but . . . through  the Spirit of God.  We have no hope to be released from the darkness except through the Spirit of God. 

I hope you did not miss the point. Freedom from the darkness is not something we can do on our own.  Living in the Light is a daily choice to live through the presence and power of the Spirit. 

In the land of deep darkness, the Light has dawned.
You have a choice to either live in the darkness or the Light.
Life changes when we live in the Light. not by your own strength or power but by the Spirit of God.

Learning to KickStart the day  . . .  in the Light through the Spirit of God.
