Good afternoon people who focus on light rather than on darkness

I’m concerned that darkness gets more attention than light for many people.

In a world where darkness seems to be getting darker, and where it seems that darker darkness is getting closer, we as the people of God have an opportunity to see things as Father sees them – and He sees and focuses on light.

This focus is not a denial of the darkness, but rather, it is, I believe, the correct focus and pursuit of our lives.

There is something deeply spiritual and right about light, and it is important to God, because it originated from God. God wanted light, and therefore, He spoke it into existence. In fact, it is the first thing He created. 

Paul said this:

Romans 16:19 NIV Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

In this scripture and context, being innocent about what is evil is not talking about not doing evil, but about being ignorant of evil.

God wants light and all that which is light to get your attention and focus.

Philippians 4:8 NIV Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
