Light and Its Source

By Eliza H. Morton

WHEN we speak of light, we naturally think of the sun; but whence does the sun derive its light? Three days before the sun appeared, light shed its rays upon this earth. Gen. 1:3, 16. God is light, and all light comes from Him.

That which we perceive with the natural eye is but a reflection of God's brightness. When we sit down in the sunlight, we are literally sitting in the glory of the Lord. It is sweet to kneel in the rainbow rays from the throne, and to feel in the heart the vivifying, enlightening, and healing beams of the Sun of Righteousness.

Those who read and study the prophecies of God's word daily, have a light which shines in a dark place. 2 Peter 1:19. The world to-day is wrapped in spiritual darkness. The call to the church is, “Arise and shine.” The prayer of every child of God should be, “O send out Thy light and Thy truth.”
