Scripture: Ephesians 5:8-10 (NIV)
“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.”
Reflection:
As believers, we’ve been transferred from darkness to light, called to reflect God’s character in a world shrouded by sin. Paul encourages the Ephesians to produce fruit like goodness and truth, actively discerning what pleases God. This means rejecting hidden deeds of shame and exposing them to light, allowing transformation. Living as children of light brings clarity, purpose, and influence, illuminating paths for others while drawing us into deeper communion with the Source of all light.
Application:
Examine an area of your life still in “darkness.” What step can you take to bring it into the light? Seek accountability from a trusted friend.
Prayer:
God of Light, thank You for making me a child of light. Help me to bear fruit that pleases You and to walk in goodness, righteousness, and truth. Amen.
