Children of Light AN AMAZING FACT: When “solar winds”—electrically charged particles flowing out from the sun—hit our atmosphere, the Earth’s magnetic field traps and pushes most of them to the polar regions. The strange and beautiful light shows of the aurora borealis and aurora australis (northern and southern lights) are the result. These can be seen as a glow or as curtains or arcs. Green is the most common color, but they can also be pink, red, yellow, blue, or a combination. Light is an essential gift from God. “Let there be light” was His first command of creation. He knew how important it would be for us. A lack of light or low levels of light can cause depression in humans and animals. We need regular exposure to strong light for our physical and emotional well-being. The same is true in our spiritual lives. Without a regular supply of strong spiritual light, we can easily become discouraged and lose our way. The Word of God provides this light. “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Because of Him we can “walk as children of light … finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:8, 10). We don’t need to stumble around in the dark. Jesus promises to light our way. KEY BIBLE TEXTS For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. - Ephesians 5:8-10 --
