We
must work the works of Him Who sent Me and
be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man
can work. John 9:4
It’s so good to see dawn breaking
forth to usher in a new day. Daylight brings with it the sense of newness. New beginnings,
new start, new opportunities, new strength, new ideas, new focus, new hope, new
thoughts, new purpose, new mercy, new perspective, new passion, new vision, new
genesis.
It’s a new day and new blessings are
coming my way!
Jesus said, in the scripture
reference above, that day provided an opportunity for us to work. An
opportunity that we no longer possessed when the night came. He said we must
work while it is day, meaning, this opening of time would not always be
available for us. This scripture reminds us that something’s are under time restraint.
If we walk away from our work today with an attitude of “I will get to that
tomorrow,” we may be surprised to find out that while we hesitated and procrastinated
the night came. The window of opportunity open to you today may not be
available tomorrow.
Daylight is synonymous with vision
or sight. Daylight has a certain positive ambience about it. It provides a true
picture of what’s before us. When light is available we can work more
proficient and efficient on the task at hand. God created the light and commissioned
it to break forth in the midst of darkness. He needed light to be available
while He worked on the rest of creation. God worked in the light, creating all
manner of good things for His glory!
Work implies effort.
Work defined:
·
Activity in which
one exerts strength or faculties to do or perform something.
Jesus instructed us that we cannot
work in the night but only in the day. Our efforts are only effective when we
exert them according to His will and His way. Whatever God has called you to do
you must remember to do it while it is still day. Don’t let the Night fall on
your Day. Don’t let the night breakthrough and have its way. You are the light
shining bright, don’t let the night leap forward and block you way. There is
much work in the Kingdom still needing to be done let’s recognize the time we
have been allotted and work while the light is still on!
