You are the light of the world [March 13,2022 ]

Daily Word

You are the light of the world
Isaiah 60:1
Arise shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

Light has several uses. Some of them are:
– It gives direction,help you see your way through darkness
-It attracts attention, it looks nice and it draws attention especially for children
-It gives warmth or heat when the weather is cold etc.

The verse above talks about light as a way of attracting other people. Once you accept the gift of salvation, the Spirit of God comes to live you and you reflect the glory of God.

Matthew 5:16 says
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

One way of letting our light shine is to do good works like:
-Witnessing to other people
– Giving to the poor and needy
– Helping the weak and afflicted etc

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid

Another way of letting our light shine is to give the world hope by showing by our words and actions that “Jesus is the answer for the world”. The Lord will save as many as are willing and move them out of a life of conflict, hunger, disease, destruction and hopelessness.

John 10:10 says
The thief (evil one) cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and they might have it more abundantly.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray daily that God will help you live a life that will draw more people to Him

Prayer

Keep me shinning Lord
Keep me shinning Lord
In all I say and do
That the world may see
Christ lives in me
And learn to love Him too
Amen
