Still reading through the Psalms and I was reminded that just as turning on a light switch in a dark room dispels the darkness, so will our witness dispel the darkness among the nations. The light doesn't have to struggle to overcome the dark, for it is the very nature of the light to prevail. But until we are willing to go, in obedience to our Lord and our biblical mission to share the light, people will remain in darkness.
How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
The LORD will hear when I call to Him....
Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and sleep in peace.
for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4: 2,3,5-8
Offer right sacrifices.... something to ponder....If I am given a life that consists of much wealth, success, renown, (grain and wine above) or one that given little I have Christ; He is the One and He alone is enough.
How far are you willing for your light to shine? (John 8:12; 2 Cor 4:6)
It is written:
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord shines over you.
For look, darkness covers the earth,
and total darkness the peoples; but the Lord will shine over you
and His glory will appear over you
Nations will come to your light (Isa. 60:1-3)
