MORNING: January 5 Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of goodness,
"Let there be light." We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it than we
are, and see more of God in it and by it. Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet,
but gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers
to our immortal natures. When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light, and opens our eyes
to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, we behold sin in its true
colors,
and ourselves in our real position; we see the Most Holy God as he reveals himself, the
plan of mercy as he propounds it, and the world to come as the Word describes it.
Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic colors, but whether they be knowledge, joy,
holiness, or life, all are divinely good. If the light received be thus good, what must
the essential light be, and how glorious must be the place where he reveals himself. O
Lord, since light is so good, give us more of it, and more of thyself, the true light. |
