Gen 1:1-3 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
Why did God: "Separate the light from the darkness"? Why didn't He just do away with the Darkness? Why did He allow darkness to remain in this world He was creating? Yes, I, like you, more then likely, have always thought this was a good thing, the days, and nights, the passing of time, the darkness so we could sleep......BUT is this what the Darkness really is? The word of God is full of things that have more then one meaning. God never does something without a reason or message to us. He "Separated the Light from the Darkness" He could have destroyed, annihilated , done away with forever, thrown as far as the East is from the West, this darkness. But He didn't, why? He allowed darkness to remain, a place for Satan to hide, slither, do his dirty work, to tempt, to destroy, to take cover, to try and fool us, God's children,from God's love. I don't really understand why God allowed this darkness to remain. You see, before God started His work,"The Earth was formless and empty and darkness covered the deep waters" So there was already a something here, water covered by darkness, nothing else. Why, then did God just separate this from the light after He created light?
I don't know, this thought just came to me this morning. It falls into the same question: "Why does God let Satan hang around, why doesn't He just destroy him? The answer to both of these questions are the same. God does not want a bunch of robots who serve Him, because He says so. He wants us to serve and love Him because we CHOOSE to. There it is, see it? The reason God left the darkness there, just separating it from the Light HE CREATED. If we are to choose Him=, then there must be more then one choice. God, a LONG time ago knew that Lucifer was going to get all "in His face" full of pride and become that other choice for us.
Have you ever felt darkness around you, like it was about to consume you? Yes, I believe we all have at one time or another. It doesn't feel to good, does it? God CAN remove that darkness right there on the spot, and sometimes He does just that. BUT sometimes He separates it from the Light that HE CREATED inside US, the Light we have hidden in our hearts, the light that He created within us. Yes sometimes, most of the time in fact, the darkness is still there, our problems, our fears, our sadness our emotions...........BUT they aren't feeling like they are suffocating us as before. All we feel is God's Light shinning down on us, through us, all around us, and we want to praise Him, not worry about that darkness that is WAY OVER THERE>
Look how God created this Light, He simply said "Let there be light, and there was light". He did not say: "Remove the Darkness and replace it with Light", that is Heaven, this was Earth He was creating then, not Heaven, not yet.
In Jesus' name, we too, can cause the Light to separate from the darkness. How? Simple by just calling out to the one who created the Light in the first place. Darkness is here to stay in this world, but that doesn't mean we have to be slaves to it.
Got Darkness? Allow God to separate it and move forward in His Light.
