And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. (Gen. 1:16-18 KJV)
Light is the divisor of darkness: the penetrator and interceptor of darkness. Light terminates darkness and always incepts a fresh start. Light breaks up darkness for a new day.
God’s wisdom to solve the blackness of darkness upon the earth is a great insight to dealing with Man’s problem upon the earth. Just as God’s was saddled at Creation with the darkness issue so is Man burdened with the crippling and strangling issue of blinding darkness that envelopes the World. According to the Scriptures, “…darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,” (Isaiah 60:2) and to cure this menace, Light is the remedy.
Consider the Earth’s orbit for instance, the Earth’s rotation on its axis is the science regulating the duration of day and night; the introduction of Light and its termination of darkness marks the beginning of a new day. Light terminates darkness and bring a new dawn. This notice of Light intercepting darkness to bring a new day is crucial and imminent to anyone’s breaking into a new and enlightened fresh start or experience. We must seek light to change old courses and events.
Consider the breakthroughs in technology and advancement in Science for instance, the ease, convenience and adaptability new technologies have brought to Human existence and global connectivity; are eminent products of light gained on what sometime existed to what now exist. From no telephone for instance, to analogue telephones to digital telephones to cell phones to smart phones. Across all spectra of Human existence, new insights have been the lights introduced to transit from dark age to jet age. These lights have intercepted and terminated the darkness that demeaned human existence for a new and glorious lifestyle.
Akin to how new technologies have brought Man into new days of luxury, convenience and opulence; so does new revelation by God’s Truth bring every man into a new dawn of spiritual experience and true living that terminates the despicable and despotic darkness that cripples Man’s spirituality. The light of the Scriptures will always bring any man into a new dawn, new experience and a new day.
About Saul who later became Paul the Apostle, the Bible says, “As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.” (Acts 9:3 NIV). This light from heaven is the interceptor and dayspring that ended the evil darkness that had directed the life of Saul and ushered a glorious new dawn for Paul the Apostle, bringing him to an eminent place in the Apostleship where he did more than all the others in the work of the Gospel and Ministry. He would say; “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (1 Cor. 15:10 KJV).
Beloved, let us be fast to pursue and gain light; revelations of the truth, it will always sway darkness for a glorious new dawn and a happier new day.
