S – for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ⁹ (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), ¹⁰ and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:8–10 ESV

O / A – The imagery is straight forward.  Before a relationship with God, you were filled with your own human nature that revolved around you. In accepting Christ, you exchanged the darkness and self focus for a Christ focus and the revelation of knowing him.  We need to walk this out by spending time getting to know Him more.  The darkness will try to find cracks in that relationship to find places to attach.  We must be vigilant to find those areas and eliminate the darkness once and for all.

R – Heavenly Father, you are Light.  We are grateful for our transformation from darkness to light.  This is made possible by the death of Jesus on the cross.  Empower us today to see any areas of darkness that are attaching themselves to us.  We want to walk in pure light today.
