Shining Your Light in the Darkness

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”

Ephesians 5:8

January 4, 2025

Ponder This

This is who you are called to be as a follower of Christ: You are to take your light and put it on a candlestick. Lift it up so that it will give light to all that are in the house. You may say, “But Pastor, you don’t know where I work. I work with a lot of pagans. Hey, Pastor, if you only knew the dirty jokes, the things that are said and shared around our office. If you only knew the gossip. If you only knew the blasphemy. You’d understand why I want to get another job. I want to get out of this place. I’m just so oppressed there. There’s nobody who is saved where I am. I want to go to an office that’s full of Christians.”

The workplace can be hard. Even at home, we all know not everyone acts like Christians all the time. But when you are looking for only Christian community, you’re just wanting to light the light. You’re just wanting to salt the salt. Why do you think God put you where He did? Why do you think you’re in that place? You are to be a light in the darkness. You are to season your workplace with God’s grace when it is dark, and you are to love in your home, even when it is chaotic. We are to shine as lights in a dark world. That’s why we’re there.

• Where have you been placed to be a light for God’s glory?
• What makes this difficult in daily life?

Practice This

This week, seek practical ways to live as a light in the places God has settled you.
