God saw the light, that it was
good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:4 (KJV)
No sooner is there a good thing in the world than a division is
necessary. Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them, let us
not confound them. Sons of light must not have fellowship with deeds,
doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must be sober,
honest, and bold in their Lord’s work, leaving the works of darkness to those
who shall dwell in it forever.
We should by our distinct separation form the world divide the light
from the darkness. In judgment, in action, in hearing, in teaching, in
association, we must discern between the precious and the vile, and maintain
the great distinction which the Lord made upon the world’s first day.
O Lord Jesus, be Thou our light throughout the whole of this day, for
Thy light is the light of men. –Spurgeon
