Darkness is Absence of Light Reflectors

[S] 1 John 1:5 --
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

[O] A simplicity of this verse grabbed me.  The light and darkness cannot co-exist so if I am in the light then that is the way to eliminate darkness without trying to find ways to "remove" darkness.  Finding ways to be in and staying in the light is the best way to staying away from the darkness of this world such as sin and falling away from God.  That is to say that walking with Christ is proactively seeking ways to stay in the Light, not seeking ways to not do bad things.  A byproduct of being in the light is that I will reflect the light and thus brightening up the surrounding.

[A] When I read the Bible, ask the question:  How is this passage teaching me how to seek and stay in His Light?

[P] Dear Father, Your name is above all, and I want to learn ways to stay in Your presence which is the Light. I know that by doing this I will thwart the darkness of this world trying to overpower me.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
