The Light of God

I’ve been tracing themes through scripture as part of my devotional time – exploring how God masterfully weaves His great story together. Today, I’m looking at the Light of God. Creation: Genesis 1:2a NLT: The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. Genesis 1:3 NLT: Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Malachi 4:2 (NLT) - “But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

The sun is spoken of as an angel with healing in its wings. You may not be aware that persons who live in a room which opens only to the north, are more in danger of sickness than if they lived in a room which faced the opposite point of the compass. Statistics tell us that the un-sunned rooms of a barracks or hospital are much less healthful than those parts on which the sun shines through the day. It is said that the absence of the direct rays of the sun increases the mortality twenty percent, as compared with the places on which it shines continually. The sun is our best doctor and sunshine is our cheapest and most efficient physic. Narrow streets, blind alleys, and back slums in which the rays of the sun never shine are a disgrace to our humanity. In such places you see, like as you see in that part of your garden on which the sun does not shine, stunted and diseased human plants. If you give the people wide streets and good houses, and provide three times the number of gaslights at night, you will have a more healthful and a more holy city than we have just now. The sun shines away disease, and a powerful light scares away sin. ~ W. Birch

Malachi 4

[ragamuffinmaid]

[thewordfortheday]

But for you who fear My name, The Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings.” Malachi 4:2 When the sun rises, darkness flees and the earth comes alive with vitality and vigour. The birds start singing, the flowers bloom and everything that has breath wakes up as if to welcome the sun. Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness. His beams bring health and strength, delight and joy, safety and security. His light dispels every darkness from our hearts, His life raises every dead patch in our lives back to life . My heart is made new, my body is healed, my mind is renewed and joy floods my soul.
