Today’s Scripture…
Matthew 5:14-16
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Thoughts…
When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
You may recognize this from youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman’s inaugural poem. It is her opening and ending stanzas. What wise words from a young lady. The entire poem is very inspirational.
It reminded me of today’s verses. We live in a world filled with darkness. We have a couple of choices. We can curl up in fear. We can’t sit around and complain about the lack of light , or we can BE the light.
Jesus is the light of the world. We are filled with His light, all we have to do is let it shine. We can be that beacon on the hilltop so many are looking for today. You see we can’t control the darkness. We can’t even control those who bring it into this world. However, we can light it up and drive it away. Will you join me today and light up this world bright enough for d everyone to see?
Prayer…
Lord, let my light shine brightly for You.! ~amen
