The value of light

source

sun, moon, stars, fire; I guess these are ALL forms of lighting. And yes, humans have added theirs; electric generated lights. Beyond just brightness, light is a driver; a quality that is worth considering and even reconsidering.

How often do we take things for granted? I will be making this article brief and as straight to the point as possible. I love putting in some emphasis when writing also so we can at least make necessary comparisons.

Have you stayed in an environment where there is no light? This may sound normal to some and very awkward to others. I am just imagining how megacities would cope with an electricity outage. Consider how everything is NOW electrically engineered.

skyscrapers need it for easy ascension and descending through lifters. Big industries need it for an effective line of production. You can imagine the tones of work that feeds in in the process.

The governments of these countries are investing a lot. In short, we are seeing cities who make sure brightness is sustained 24/7.

The beauty you find at night times over there is exceptional. Billboards, buildings, street lights, traffic lights; everything just works together to turn a night into another day

A void of this and many things will enter an imbalance; we are talking of a loss that can affect a country's economy. What happens if someone gets stuck in a lifter, how about a half-done production that just got hampered?

The food industry will also be facing its hit; especially for frozens. I can remember sometimes when I head to my aunt's shop to discover there has been a general electrical issue, her TOP priority is always Frozen foods.

Why am I using many paragraphs to emphasize this? First, I am trying to show the human efforts that have been put in place to foster light both as brightness or an efficient Tool to boost industry. Secondly, to see how we slag on the issue of light on its big picture. I know this is something some may snub both light has its source. Have you spent some time reading the first four verses that open the Holy Bible?

We are heading back to the beginning and how light was a vital player (Genesis 1:1-4). The fact is, even in our human ignorance, there is nothing new. Many say they don't care yet they are deploying the tactics of The Creator in their daily lives; ‘light is good’. If you want to reduce the value of a place, just withdraw light. It was a discussion I had with a friend today, about how the government has introduced street lights into their environment.

He had to concur its advantage especially in the area of security. The touting has reduced in the process, something he said was very rampant at past times. This still boils back to value; ‘light helping to expose The Secret works of darkness’. The question is, do we even care to know?. Are we only interested in man-made lights? Is it the most vital of it all?.

To conclude, let me add, If I am preaching in this article, just know that today’s Sunday service has taken a hold on me. Our entire life goes beyond just outward lighting. Are we actually light in our inside? Does it sound surprising to you that someone can be creeping in thick darkness in an environment of bright lights.

Many of us don't eat the Word because we don't even see it as food. Does your life boost the human economy? Let's just keep monetary transactions aside. As a general light outage will be an irritation and a limitation, are you irritating and limiting others? Get this straight, you are light and light is known for shining. Anything aside from this is a compromise. Why should you shine? Simple ‘Light is good’, these few words carry hefty value.
