Light for the Godly

Light shines on the godly and joy on those who do right.

Psalm 97:11

Light for the Godly

Light shines in the darkness for the godly....

Psalm 112:4

Light of the Lord

Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Isaiah 2:5

LIGHT

The leaves fell off the trees. No longer was the house shaded, the rooms dark and cozy. Now every nook and cranny was exposed to the sunlight blasting through the windows.

Cobwebs and dust suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It could be seen that the kitchen floor needed a good scrubbing. Even the plants needed their leaves washed off.

As the light came pouring through the windows, I knew exactly what two friends of mine meant when they commented on how clearly they could see now that their cataracts were removed. The colors! The light!

All of a sudden I, too, could see clearly. And this is how God sees us - clearly, every nook and cranny. He sees not only my outward actions but my inner thoughts, attitudes, motives and purposes.

As we clean our homes, may we also spend some time seeing what God sees in us - our thoughts, attitudes, motives and purposes. May we correct what needs correction but also let us allow ourselves to see and be thankful for the goodness God has placed in each of us - if we allow Him entrance.

But when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible . . . . Ephesians 5:14

He (Jesus) is the sole expression of the glory of God and the Light being, the out-raying of the divine. Hebrews 1:3

You have loved righteousness - You have delighted in integrity, virtue and uprightness in purpose, thought and action. Hebrews 1:9

Heavenly Father, please shine Your light upon me at this season of my life. Let me see myself as You see me - that You love me, that You want the best for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

LIGHT!

As the gray days of November and December turn into the brighter days of almost January, as the snow falls, have you looked around your home lately? All of a sudden you seem to be able to SEE - cobwebs in the corner, streaks on the refrigerator, spills on the stove, spots on the walls and lint on the rug. Unable to be seen previously, now with the light shining more brightly, you know that bit by bit each must be dealt with - now that they can be seen.

Have you looked around your life lately? What do you see? Are there specks of dirt on your soul? Is God speaking to you about some areas in your life which previously couldn’t be seen? Is He urging you to take steps to remedy the situations?

Let’s take advantage of the Light - those times when God shines His lamp into the nooks and crannies of our souls.

Let’s go to Him for His help and direction. Let’s go to Him....


God is light and in Him is no darkness at all . . . if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
I John 1:5-7

Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Light which searches the hidden areas of my soul. Please help me to see as You see and to obey what it is You would have me to do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
