Light Shines
“Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!” —Psalms 97:11-12 (NLT)
In John 9:5, Yeshua said: “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” In Matthew 5:14, He told His disciples: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;” Wherever your journey through life takes you, be the light. As children of God we are to live clean, innocent lives, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. (See Philippians 2:15 NLT) Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 NASB1995)
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and dense gloom the peoples; But Yahweh will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.” —Isaiah 60:1-2 (LSB)
