Written by Charles Gallaudet Trumbull (1872-1941), an American evangelical writer and journalist. This is an excerpt from the book “Messages for the Morning Watch.”
In the original creation of light, God the creator divided light from darkness…Now, when God commits specific light-giving duties to certain of His creations, He makes it a definite part of their duty to divide the light from the darkness. So it is in the spiritual world. God has once for all divided light from darkness: they can have nothing to do with each other. God also entrusts His children, as co-workers with Himself, the responsibility and privilege of dividing light from darkness. We must lead others from darkness to Christ, and insist, for ourselves, a rigidly and relentlessly sharp line of cleavage between those things that belong to the light and to the darkness. May the God and Father of all light, and the True Light which lighteth every man, keep our vision clear and our will true.
God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. [Genesis 1:16-18]
