God is Light

Day 1 – Read John 8:12

Look around and see the light around you. What is lighting your room and keeping it from being dark? God is light. Where He is, there is no darkness. Sin and bad things can’t “hang out” with God, and when they do, they are exposed for what they are. Light shows everything, it keeps us safe, and it guides us where to go. God is our light, and if we spend time with Him, we can be a light, too.

Day 3

When you walk into a dark room, what do you do first?
Why do you turn on the light in a dark room?
How does turning on the light help?

Give it a try!There are lots of things that you can make that are glow-in-the dark. Craft stores sell glow-in-the-dark paint. The Internet has lots of ways to make glow-in-the-dark slime. This week, turn off the TV and ask your mom or dad to help you make something glow-in –the dark. You could paint a picture frame or make some slime. Sit it under the light all day, and when you go to bed, watch it light up in your room. Let it be a reminder that God is light and spending time with Him will give you His light.

Day 4

Solar power is the coolest way to light your house. Your family might have a house that is powered by the sun. To do this, you have to put solar panels somewhere on your roof. The solar panels sit out in the sun and soak up the light. As they soak up the light, they are collecting energy from the sun to power your home’s electricity. Basically, the sun’s light gives your home light. God works in the same way. If you spend time with Him, you soak up His light, and it powers YOU to be a light to others.
