O Lord My God,You Are Great

O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent. Psalm 104:1-2
Even when it rains there is still light and beauty. The same is true of hard times. Though the way is often dark and gloomy, God remains there, radiant and beautiful and splendid, the One Ruler, he whom we worship and turn to, knowing that in the end he will bring us the most wonderful thing of all—fulfillment of all that lies within us. For “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).
There is still darkness within us, though. We have not understood that we have to hold the light high, the light that God put within us. Darkness has overshadowed it, bringing in much that is evil. But we are firmly convinced that God is still light, and in that lies our hope. In the end, the darkness within us will be overcome, for the Savior says, “I am the light of the world!”
God is light throughout the whole creation; Jesus is the light of all humanity; for this alone he came. He came not to rule within the world but within its people. Their Lord, Jesus Christ, must rule them. To this we give ourselves in all we do.
