Light in the Darkness

John 1:5 (WEB)

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

Reflection

Darkness doesn't get the final word. It never has and it never will. No matter how dark your situation feels, the light of Christ is shining right now, and nothing can snuff it out. That's not wishful thinking; that's a theological fact.

Prayer

Jesus, You are the light that darkness cannot overcome. When my world feels heavy and dark, remind me that the light is already winning. Help me live like I believe it.
