Shine
Monday….thoughts are swirling and twirling. Overflowing with ideas, hopes, and a greater sense of responsibility to write, placing my hands onto my keyboard, not knowing what will appear, yet desiring to be obedient, the words emerge.
Our CREATOR is so magnificent, He unveiled and solidified the reason for which words constantly float around in my mind, He clarified my gift and observe how it can incite change, He answered a life worth of questions in a number of hours, He spoke precisely to me about me, for the purpose of me understanding my purpose. Not to just exist within the earth but to reflect His glory in and through my life with words inspired by Him. Out of obedience write will I, so that voids will be filled, so that mysteries will be revealed, so that all thoughts contrary to bringing glory to His name will be shattered.
As a man thinketh so is he. What are we thinking? What have we allowed to enter our thoughts that diminish the glory of God radiating brightly in our lives? In the beginning He said, Let there be light, and there was light. How bright are our lights shining today? Let your light shine before men so that they may glorify your Father in Heaven are instructions given to us in the Word.
Just a little lesson on light pollution…it exists. It interferes, disrupts, and obscures light from shining forth in its truest form. Pollution is any activity that causes impairment in the environment. Our life is an environment, what are we exposing, introducing, and allowed to take residence within it? Do those things hinder our ability to illuminate light in its truest form? If so, God is able to lead us to be a greater reflection of the light He willed us to be. Let’s make time for light transformation by availing ourselves to study the word more and listen intentionally for His voice…..He has called all of us out of darkness into His marvelous light AND to be salt and light to the world.
Prayer
Father you are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game. Help me to recognize anything in my life that prevents me from showing forth your light. I ask that you change me, draw me, and lead me with your word, so that my life will lead with a distinguishing light that leads others to your unfailing and eternal light. Amen
