We may often be told to choose our battles wisely. Generally, this means that we should choose to fight when it is really important, but other issues may not be worth the fight and fighting would distract us from our real purpose. Since the beginning of the world, darkness has come against light. Darkness loses, because when light is revealed darkness must flee. Jesus brought His light into the world and it continues to spread in the form of truth, righteousness, and abundant living.
John 1:4-5, speaking about Jesus, says, “In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” God is the creator and sustainer of life. He gives eternal life to His children. He is also the light, giving us truth and showing us the way to have true abundant life. Darkness tries to overcome God’s light but can never do so.
