John 1:4-5
Whenever things around you get dark and you feel the devil is about to overpower you, remember this: You have the Light of the world in you, and try as they may all the forces of hell can’t put it out! Even when you’re are your weakest, even when you feel like the light within you is small, the devil’s darkness is no match for you. Let me show you what I mean. Imagine for a moment that you’re in a large auditorium that has no windows or doors to let in outside light. The place is so black that you can’t see anything, not even your hand in front of your face. There’s nothing around you but complete darkness. Now, imagine one little lightning but flying around that auditorium. Every eye in there would turn toward it. As small as that light is in comparison to the great darkness around it, you would still be able to see it. That massive blackness wouldn’t be able to do a thing to shut off that bug. Everywhere he flew, the darkness would just have to yield. It would always be dispelled by his light. When the circumstances around you begin to get black and you’re tempted to despair, think about that lightning bug. Meditate on the fact that Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, is in you. When the revelation of that hits you, you’ll never again let that darkness back you into a corner. You’ll start chasing it down, overcoming it with your light!!
