Philippians 2: 13, 15
For it is GOD who worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure...
That ye may be blameless and harmless children of GOD, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
SHINING LIGHTS
We are to shine as lights in the world and it is GOD who works in us to want to and to be able to do what He wants. If this devotional, this morning, stopped there and said, "reflect on this", it would be enough for a life time of reflection. Just think about it; the GOD who created all things in heaven and in the earth, created you and all that you see, sent His Son to redeem you and all humanity from death by His Blood, works in you to will and do what pleases Him. He has done it all for you, all you have to do is follow Him.
We can not please GOD or do the work that makes Him rejoice, on our own hook; it is GOD who gives us the will and the way to make Him rejoice. Do you have a thought about how to bring people warmth on a cold day; how to feed the hungry in your neighborhood; call a friend and just give them the warmth of your friendship; take a plant to a grieving neighbor who just had to put her dog down, because the dog was sick and old. These thoughts and the thoughts about new ways to cure Cancer and help people to live, who have no kidneys, through the gift of Dialysis; these thoughts come from GOD, designed for the good of His Children. These are Holy Gifts from the Divine source for the health and well being of humanity.
We are light in this world, dispelling the darkness and despair of a world without hope. People are walking in darkness and we are the lanterns of the Light of Christ breaking the darkness and bringing hope. We are the Light of warmth in the cold night of lives. We are the Light that brings growth to the soul that feels "stuck in the rut". We are the healing light of GOD, touching sick souls and raising them up to the path of wholeness. Yes, we are the lanterns of GOD, filled with His Light and the oil of the Holy Spirit. Keep your lanterns bright with the Holy Light; the world is in great need of the way to walk.
JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
