How do you feel about evil? Do you wonder how much evil there is in the world? Will it all ever be exposed? How well do you like being in the light? Are there things you do not want to come to light? Is everything you do for God?
We know evil is all around us. It isn’t just the crime in our streets. We hear every day of crimes that were being committed in homes, workplaces, and even in churches that were hidden for months, years, or decades. And we are disgusted by it.
We get frustrated and feel depressed hearing all the negative news. It seems as though bad news is all the news agencies report. We long to hear of someone doing good. We want to see people being rewarded for doing good for someone else, for being an upstanding citizen.
Jesus tells us everything will come to light. We may not see it all, but God does. He will shed his light on it and expose it. He is the just judge who will punish those who do evil. God knows who is disobedient and who is obedient.
Our part is to continue in our faith in Jesus. We are to be obedient to God’s commands and trust his promises. Doing so puts us in his light. As long as we walk in his light, we will see clearly, and we will be with him for all eternity, continually in his light forever.
I pray we all trust God to be the ultimate judge. I pray we continue to walk in our faith and be obedient to God’s commands. I pray each one of us will walk in God’s light, having our path lit by him. Trust God. Leave it to him to judge. Walk in his light. Obey his commands. Be in his light for eternity.
John 3:20-21 “For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”
