God has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light and has therefore mandated us to also shine that light in this dark world, so that all those who are seating or living in darkness can see His light through us.
In Isaiah 60:1-3 the Bible tells us to, “A rise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”
Our lives should be attractive. You know why? Because we carry the glory of God! In the midst of darkness every bit of light draws attention no matter how little they may be.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5:14-16, “Ye are the light of the world. ... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
The Bible also gave an account of Moses, when he came down from the mount after spending time in the presence of God desiring to see the glory of God.
The bible made us understand that even the children of Israel, the people of God could not look on his face directly because of the glory of God upon him. He had to cover his face because the glory was shining like the sun, and as you may well know that he only saw God’s back.
In Colossians 1:27 the Bible says that, “Christ in us is the hope of glory.” So, if Christ is living in the inside of us why are we not shining His light like Moses did? Or even better than Moses because He lives inside of us, we are to give hope to those that discouraged, those that are down cast, to the hopeless, even to the generation ahead.
That the children are the future armies the Lord is raising to show His glory. May the glory of the Lord that is risen upon us never be taken away, in Jesus Name. AMEN.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom
