ARISE AND SHINE
Does your spirit cringe as you see evil encroaching more and more upon the land? My heart grieves, even though God’s Word tells us that “darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.” But my heart is inspired by the rest of the prophecy, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee… the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1-2).
It’s time for us to arise and shine and to eradicate all darkness and sin from our lives and homes. A little glimmer of light is not enough to push back the darkness. We have to be a GREAT light. This is what Jesus was. Speaking of Jesus Matthew 4:16 says, “The people which sat in darkness saw GREAT light.” What kind of light do people see in us? A faint glimmer? Or a great light? It won’t just happen. We have to ARISE and shine.
Let’s remember that THE GREAT LIGHT dwells in our hearts and wants to shine His light through us. Let’s make our marriages and homes lighthouses and beacons of God’s truth to point the way to those who are groping in darkness. We know the Way, the Truth and the Life. Why do we hide it? “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
