Olympics fever is in the air.....and so are the fanatics! They're torchin' the torch, would you believe! Worldwide riots happening as the Olympics torch travels - Paris, London, San Francisco....where next!! We live in a crazy world, you must agree!
But there's another world, another Torch and another fanatic tryin' to put it out.....guess who!! He hates the Light - he hates your life and hates your Lord. He's identified as the devil himself trying to darken the Light that He gave in the very life that He renewed......and what to do??
Don't let him.....He will try to kill your resolve, steal your peace and destroy your life but he will not win. Light is always stronger than darkness - and evil cannot put it out...God holds you in the palm of His hand and Satan has no power over you, or the Light shining in your life.
In the beginning God said, "Let there be light - and there was light." That Light is God Himself and will never go out. Fear can't eradicate it; failure can't erase it. Discouragement, disease and distress can't destroy it - and the devil can't have it!
So who's torchin' the torch in YOUR World today? No one, devil included, for darkness CANNOT put it out! He'll try, but remember God's Word - and rejoice, fear not! Hold that Torch high. Jesus, Light of the World, stands strong on your behalf before the Father of Light - He IS the Light, and all the devils in hell can't darken the true and living Light shining in your heart and all over this world!
Now believe it and have a Torch-holding, Light-shining, victorious and very choco-rich day. He's IS your Light and He lives forevermore!
