“Arise, shine; for your light has come.”

Isaiah 60:1-5, “ARISE, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.”

Israel saw this in part when they were brought out of captivity; we see it in part now with the light of Christ. We of all people know that as we allow His light to shine, and as we lift Him up, He will draw others to Himself. Darkness must flee when the light comes!

Let our light so shine before men today that they may see our good works and give glory to You, our Father in Heaven!
