Dear God: We Look Up

 

Isaiah 60:1 NKJV "...For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you."

                         

 

  For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.    Isaiah 60:2-3 NKJV

 

While speaking with my Christian friends I’ve noticed a particular pattern, we are all getting the word to stay strong because rough times are coming fast and furious to this world.  So, what can we do to prepare?  Stay in His word, meditate on His word, and follow His word.  Love God, and be a watchman in the Lord.

The altruistic being, the one and only Sovereign God that reigns for all eternity, is with His children, each step of the way. He will protect us, and guide us.  His light is the glorifying and peaceful path of existence in this lifetime and after.  His light shines brilliantly with warmth and love that radiates and sustains all of His children.

The best way we can shine our light, is to be an example to others, follow the Lord Jesus Christ and His ways.  Be kind and helpful to your family, friends, neighbors…and love God with all of your might. Give yourself to Him and be firm in your convictions, don’t be weak in your love. Our scruples, morals and our decorum should be a true representative aspect of Christ. 

When someone who isn’t a Christian sees your light and how peaceful and content you are, they will want to feel that too. They may ask, “how do I get that way?” And, you can share the good news with them…that is always a major connection to humanity for those who hunger and inquire. Alas, some will ridicule and think
“no thanks not interested.”  Well that’s when Jesus says, “don’t cast your pearls before swine…”  The main thing is that we plant a seed, it’s up to God if it shall take root.

His light, His ways, His love…no matter how many weeds are around us, God will take care of His children pruning us, sheltering us, watering us until we bear beautiful fruit. We are an extension of Him, and we act accordingly. 

When trouble looms large and the world is in turmoil…Have no fear, trust in your Lord for His children will be the ones with the light shining upon them…

 

 

 

Luke 21:28

King James Version (KJV)

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
