Light vs. Darkness

I couldn't help but notice the recurring theme of light in the Psalms (104:2) and John (3:19). Chris Tomlin wrote a song "How Great is Our God" which quotes this Psalm. The first verse goes like this:

The splendor of the King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

CHORUS:
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

WOW! God clothes himself in light? How do you relate to a God whose wardrobe includes light. I mean, I have light and dark clothes and usually get in trouble for mixing them in the washing machine, but God wraps himself in light and then darkness tries to hide. YES! By all means, LET ALL THE EARTH REJOICE!

In John, I love how Jesus says that he is the light and then in our passage tells Nicodemus of how the light has come into the world to save the world from the darkness, the evil, the injustice that exists here. I love John's flavor for the cosmic grandiose of the coming of the King, the revelation of God, the Word made flesh, the light of God!

The question for me becomes, am I in love with the darkness or am I embracing the light. The more I embrace the light and seek God, the more I hear and see God. The more I neglect that relationship, the more the darkness seems normal and the farther I feel from the light. God, my soul cries out to you. Renew me by your Spirit, giving me new birth. I will praise you with my lips for you are the GREAT ONE!

Enjoy the song by Chris Tomlin along with another song you will recognize here. Praise God for He is GOOD! Any thoughts?
