Which Kingdom Are You Living In?

 Are you living in the Kingdom of Light or the Kingdom of Darkness?

When you begin to live consciously—truly aware of your choices—you become more intentional and alert in how you speak, act, and move through life. You recognize that there are only two realms in which we operate: the Kingdom of Darkness or the Kingdom of Light. There is no neutral ground.

To live outside of God’s will is to live in darkness. But what does the will of God really mean? It’s God’s original intent for you—to live well, to thrive, and to flourish in His presence. So why would any of us want to step outside of that? To do so is to walk deliberately toward destruction, away from the rest and wholeness God offers.

Jesus spoke of a narrow road that leads to life and a broad road that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14). The broad road is tempting because it promises everything—freedom without boundaries, truth without conviction. But it is chaotic. Everyone is welcome on it, not because it's right, but because it lacks the discipline and direction of God’s will.

God’s path, by contrast, is specific. It’s not vague. It’s not “do whatever you want.” It calls you:

“Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

It’s a narrow path—not because God is restrictive, but because truth is precise. Purpose is not found in endless options but in divine direction.

Think about it like someone who is intentional about their health. They don’t eat just anything because they understand that not all food is good for their body, even if it satisfies them in the moment. In the same way, someone intentional about their spiritual health won’t just consume any teaching, chase any desire, or follow every voice. They discern what leads to life and choose accordingly.

So I leave you with this question:

Are you living in the Kingdom of Light, where God's intent and peace guide you?

Or are you operating in the Kingdom of Darkness, where chaos, compromise, and self-rule dominate?

Your answer matters, because your direction determines your destination.
