After I have invited God into my life through that one prayer which was made more than 20 years ago, the first thing that is wrought in my soul is light. God said let there be light. There is an enlightenment in my understanding which never had before.
As I continue reading, verse 4 : And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
Then I was curious and I asked Him, why is there still darkness? I was brought to look at my own situation. Isn't darkness still in me, some dark moments in my life: my pride, my selfish desires, failures and hidden sins and many others. God just made a distinction, I believe he allows it there for a purpose. He just divided them. I recalled when I have sinned against Him and was far from Him, I learn to come back to Him, learn to walk by faith and cling to His promises. Sometimes He hid himself so that I will learn to search for Him in His Word. It is in this dark moment, that I learn to let go, and let God be God. Truth which is told is quick to be forgotten but truth in His word got engrafted into our being through dark moments when we cannot even trust ourselves, when we are utterly helpless and hopeless. It is only then we exercise faith to cling to His promises and apply them and these are the truths that will last a life time. As we emerge from darkness, we begin to appreciate the beauty of light and true worship of who He is actually begins.

His way is higher than our way.
