Balancing Light & Darkness The Kingdom Key of Light & Darkness

READ | Genesis 1:1-31

“He was the true Light, which lights every person who is born into the

world ( John 1:9).”

Everyday has light and darkness. As highlighted in our reading for today, “the evening and the morning were the first day (Genesis 1:5).” This same process of darkness and light continues throughout all the days of creation. Notice in the creation story, the evening comes first and then the morning. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).” We are always working with darkness and light, the sun and the moon, and the greater light and the lesser light. No matter how gloomy the darkness, we always have the power to say, “Let there be light.” The day is not complete until there is both evening and morning, darkness and light.

Every person has light and darkness. The light is reflected when we operate in the Christ consciousness, the true light that is in every person. The darkness is manifested when we do not function in the Christ of our being. It is “in God that we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28).” We must embrace our darkness as well as our light so that we can be unified within ourselves and have harmonious relationships with others. Because each person has light and darkness, each relationship with another person will have darkness and light as well. The relationship does not have depth until we accept both the darkness and the light.

Every experience has light and darkness. The light of the experience is called the blessing. The blessing is the good that is apparent to us. The darkness of the experience is called the lesson. The lesson is the good that is not apparent to us. For us to live holistically healthy, balanced, and well-rounded lives, we must accept both the blessings and the lessons of each experience. The experience is not over until we can clearly identify the light (the blessings) and the darkness (the lessons).

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God.

So God can get the...
