Listen to this blog.
“The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there."
Revelation 21:23-25
All it takes is a tiny night light to drive away the fear in a small child. It is just enough light to be able to see where everything is in the room so you won't stumble if you get out of bed before dawn. Fear of the dark is common among children and is really the fear of real or imagined dangers hidden in the darkness. When you are afraid of the dark you carefully live your life to always have plenty of light available, just in case the lights go out!
Are you afraid of spiritual darkness? Most people are not. They view evil and wickedness as a game, or simply pretend, like a horror movie. Not being afraid of spiritual darkness is like having no fear of snakes. The ultimate fate of a man who fears no snakes is very predictable. He may pick up lots of harmless snakes for a while, but then there will be a deadly viper that comes slithering past and his final encounter will begin.
Remember this: If you live every minute of your life in the light of God's Word and His Eternal Truth you will never be in the dark again. The darkness may be all around you, but one tiny spark of God's Truth will pierce the darkness and drive it away.
