May 4th is
considered the unofficial holiday by most Star Wars fans to celebrate
the
franchise’s film series, books and culture.
The date ‘May
the 4th’ sounds similar
to the
series’ popular phrase – “May the Force be with you”, which is why many
fans will
post on their Facebook pages, “May the fourth be with you.”

The Bible is
very clear about evil (darkness) and good (light):
“Woe to those
who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for
darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20 (NIV)
When Jesus
spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John8:12 (NIV)

We all have a
choice: to either follow evil in our own selfish desires or to follow Jesus.
No matter how
hard I want to “be good”, I always mess up because I will never measure up to
Jesus. I must choose DAILY to follow Him, asking for His guidance in my
struggles with the sin of this world (such as anger, unforgiveness to those who
hurt me, overeating, etc.) and His forgiveness when I fail.
1 John 1:5-10
confirms that we can NOT claim to be His and then continue to walk in the
darkness:
This is the
message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God is light;
in him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim
to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness,
we lie and do
not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son,
purifies us
from all sin.
If we claim
to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess
our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us
from all unrighteousness. If we claim we
have not sinned,
we make him
out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
