Morning by Morning, January 25 - "Radiant" with the Glory of God
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day. ...
"Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
For darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and His glory will appear over you.
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and His glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses' arms.
they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses' arms.
Then you shall see and be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and rejoice!" (Isaiah 60:1-5)
your heart shall thrill and rejoice!" (Isaiah 60:1-5)
This is our time to shine!
Yes, it's dark. Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness covers the people. And at the same time, Your Light is shining even brighter. Your Truth is becoming even more clearer.
There will be a battle between the darkness and the light to end. But darkness cannot overcome the Light! (John 1:5). Darkness just makes and even greater contrast to the Light. And You are "the Light of the world" and You said "Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life" (John 8:12).
Lord, Your Light shines before us. Your Light shines within us. And as we keep seeking You, pursuing You, following You, we will "see and be radiant" with the Light of Your glory arising upon us! "Christ in (us), the hope of glory" -- Your glory upon us, Your Light within us!
As "children of God" and followers of Christ, we will "shine as lights in the world" even in the midst and in great contrast to the thick darkness all around us (Philippians 2:15). As children of God and followers of Christ, we will "be radiant" with the glory of God as our hearts "thrill and rejoice" in You! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
