Eating Worms

What would you say to a man who sat in a candle lit room and began to eat dates; as he bit into the first he saw a worm and he threw it away. He picked up another only to find the same. He then blew out the candle and ate the rest of the dates. I would say that, that man chose to live in the dark. Too many are choosing living in the dark when Jesus said He was the light. John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 1John 1:5
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. In the very first book of the bible we find God separating the light from the darkness. He calls the light "good" but darkness is not a good thing. On the cross, during the middle of the day, darkness compassed the earth, demonstrating the bleakness of the power of sin that Jesus was conquering. Darkness is always a symbol of impurity, ignorance, being lost and evil. Now, that should be a clue to us about how we should live. We can see the worms and do something about them or we can turn off the lights and enjoy the dates. If Jesus is the light {and He is} then you and I need to live in the light of His word and the way we do that is by turning the light on by opening up our Bibles and reading them. As long as our Bibles stay closed then darkness will prevail. 1John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we walk! What is walking? It is putting one foot in front of the other to make progress. If we open our Bibles and begin to read we are walking and over a period of time as we walk in the light we will grow. Light dispels darkness so we need to get as much light as we possibly can. Are you walking in light because of the light you've been given from God's Word today or are you in darkness? In darkness you will stumble. John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

John 11:10
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
