Literally the Light is the Lord. There is nothing but total darkness without God.
What I mean by that is no ONE could find God without out God’s help. That’s why no matter how well someone may be doing in their walk; it’s not by their own power. Not even a little.
Those individuals ARE being receptive and are opening up so they God may work through them. We truly
can be nothing but grateful that God came back as the lantern and full light that we can now see spiritually. Others that choose not to submit to the Lord are blinded by the fog and darkness.
Romans 3:10-12 – 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
Do you remember before you sought God? I do.
There was total blindness to what was truth. I wasn’t lacking in making my own determinations and calling them truth. However, I still remember being oblivious to God’s Word and how it pertained to everything that was going on around me. To honestly look back, there was that veil, that fog, that…darkness. The Light was available I just hadn’t turned towards it or sought it.
No man apart from Jesus is righteous, not one. We are completely lost without Him. We need to recognize that and walk with Him constantly and not wander out on our own.

This is a good reminder of why we need to share with everyone we have a relationship with. Everyone has the potential to be a pre-christian and we don’t know who God will be calling to him and lifting the veil. We might think to ourselves, “there’s no hope with that guy,” but how do we know that our sharing and relationship might just be the seed that God uses to lift the veil. Share and let God do the work.
