FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the light of God.

John 1:1-18

All that a man needs to live life for is the light of God.
What is the light of God?
To understand what is the light of God, John 8:12 records, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 
The recording in John 9:5 emphasizes the truth that Jesus is the light, saying, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Why not give self to the light of God?
God will not force any man to accept or to give self to His light.
However, one that accepts the light of God will not stumble in darkness. John 11:10 admonishes, “But if one walks in the night, he stumbles because the light is not in him.”
Is it your desire to give yourself to the light of God?
Give yourself to the light for your deliverance and preservation. 
To have the light of God is to allow the entrance of the light of God into one’s life.  Psalm 119:130 testifies, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” 
One with the light of God will experience the hand of God in life, continually.
With understanding, gain knowledge to expect deliverance and preservation in the hand of God.
Job 3:23 records, “Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in?”
Psalm 139:5 records, “You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.”
With the light of God is the hand of God that will hedge one that accepts the light of God.
Have you accepted the light of God?
In the light of God is the hand of God that is certain to keep one having the light of God.
Testimony of Job is the reason to accept the light of God, to call on God for His hand as a hedge against Satan’s attack.

Job 1:6-10 documents the testimony of Job
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
So, Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? “So, Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.”
Open yourself, accept the word of God, the hand of God will be answering as your hedge behind and before you, to be delivered and preserved from the wicked of the world.
