Hiding From The Light

Job 24:13"They are of those that rebel against the light;they know not the ways thereof,nor abide in the paths thereof ".

Most of us have received light in some forms. God has given light to be a display of himself, for "God is light and in Him is no darkness at all". He has dressed it with a measure of his majesty and power of judgment. Rebillion against light is a sin, and there are many forms of dening the light. Some refuse the light not wanting to know more about the light. While others fight against the light as it revell the intent of their hearts. Then there are those who walk contrary to the light for selfish reasons and personal gains, fooling themselves into believing they are still in the light. But to rebell against the light you are in darkness, and all darkness is a rebellion against the light

 

The sins of the godly are magnified more because they are illuminated by the light to which we claim. "They are of those that rebel against the light". Light is taken here figuratively for knowledge, it cannot be denied that the wicked sin knowingly; but the godly have a light which should destroy the darkness.  We have a light which shows us the way of righteousness. We must be careful not to walk contrary to the light and choose the path of darkness. We have a better eye to see sin than the wicked, and for us to mess around with sin, and embrace the darkness provokes God. Sins of ignorance are still sins, but the deliberate acts of sin, and willful neglect of known duty, are great acts of disloyalty.  If a man puts his hand in the fire knowing that it will burn, no one will have pity on him when he burns himself. When the ice is marked "Dangerous"the warning should be sufficient for any reasonable man, he who ventures on the rotten ice is not only a fool but also suicidal should he fall in.

 

The warning signs of the dangers of walking in darkness, and rebelling against the light are plastered everywhere, even planted in the heart of mankind, take heed that you in your folly don't fall in and be cursed to everlasting damnation.
