Arise & Shine

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you - Isaiah 60:1.

               Once we were dead to sins but now, we are alive for Christ as we have received the light of the gospel. Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light - Ephesians 5:14. Let us remove from our path of life the things that hinder us to arise for the glory of God. The Lord is our light who gives us light and so let us arise from all circumstances that made us to fall. Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me -Micah 7:8.

                 We are called out of darkness into the marvelous light of God to shine for Him. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light - 1 Peter 2:9. By living a righteous life, we can shine for the glory of God. But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day – Proverbs 4:18.

                Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven - Mathew 5:16. Let us shine for God by giving the light of the gospel to others. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? - Romans 10:14. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn - Isaiah 60:3.

                                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us arise and shine in our life for Your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
