"Walk as children of the light."
Ephesians 5:8b
The Bible tells us Jesus is the Light of the world. He is the beacon that ships sail towards on a stormy night. He is the porch light that leads us home. He is the streetlight that keeps us from the darkness. He is the headlight that leads the way. He is the Sonlight that warms our days. Jesus is the Light of the world.
The Bible also tells us we are children of the light. Children of God, saved from death by salvation through God's only son. Ephesians 5: 8 says, "For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of the light!"
So, how do children of the light live? Ephesians 4 and 5 gives us insights into this answer. We throw off our old nature, and we let the Spirit renew our thoughts and attitudes. We carefully determine what pleases God, imitate Him in everything we do, and live a life full of love. We are able to do this by putting on the full armor of God!(Ephesians 6) While walking as children of the light, let us never forget where our help comes from.......our help comes from the Lord.
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifices and your deep love for your children. Children of the Light!

I love being a child of the Light. I want to live like I am -- with right attitudes and thoughts, knowing my help comes from God. A wonderful thought to enter the Sabbath with.
With joy,

It's such a blessing to know that as children of the light our help comes from God.
"He is the streetlight that keeps us from the darkness." That remends me so much of growing up in Chicago and the love my earthly father had for me..."Be home when the street lights go on". Thankful for God's 24/7 protection.
Stopping in from Spiritual Sunday. I pray God helps me shine my light. Thanks for posting.
I thank the Lord that I can be a light for him.
Thank-you for this post today.

A bit Yes to this Renee....awesome post.
Amen! I am so thankful to have been led out of darkness. Funny thing about the dark, you don't know how dark it is until you are in the light. Blessings, Debie
