"விதைகளின் உள்ளே" 🌳
"இனிச்சூரியன் உனக்குப் பகலிலே வெளிச்சமாயிராமலும், சந்திரன் தன் வெளிச்சத்தால் உனக்குப் பிரகாசியாமலும், கர்த்தரே உனக்கு நித்திய வெளிச்சமும், உன் தேவனே உனக்கு மகிமையுமாயிருப்பார்." ( ஏசாயா 60 : 19 )

"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, nor for brightness will the moon give you light; but you will have the Lord for an everlasting light, and your God for your glory." (Isaiah 60:19)
When we read the Book of Genesis, we see that in the beginning, the earth was formless and dark. It is written: "The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters" (Genesis 1:2).
At that moment, "God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light" (Genesis 1:3). However, God did not create the sun and the moon until the fourth day. Many atheists who criticize the Bible often point to this as a contradiction, asking, "How could there be light on the first day without the sun?"
Beloved, God does not need the sun or the moon to provide light to the earth. God Himself is Light. We read in the scriptures: "This is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). Because God Himself is the source of light, He did not create the sun and moon first. It was only on the fourth day that "God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also" (Genesis 1:16). Until then, it was God’s own light that shone upon the earth.
While God can enlighten the world without the sun, He created the sun and moon specifically to mark seasons, days, and years. Scripture says: "Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years'" (Genesis 1:14).
In the same way, when we become acceptable to God, we come under His complete sovereign care. Then, He Himself becomes our light. This is exactly what today’s meditation verse promises: "No longer will you have the sun for light by day... but you will have the Lord for an everlasting light."
Our Lord Jesus Christ also declared, "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world" (John 9:5). Yes, dear friends, it is far more glorious to have the Lord Jesus Christ shine upon us than to rely on the sun and moon like the rest of the world. When the Lord Jesus is our eternal light, we will never walk in darkness.
Jesus reaffirmed this, saying: "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life" (John 8:12). The sun and moon set at specific times, and darkness engulfs the earth. But the light of the Lord Jesus Christ never fades from us. Let us hold fast to Him and walk continually in His eternal light.
