Turn on the Light and Shine

Meditate as you walk.

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God. Isaiah 50:10

 To “fear” the Lord is to respect Him. If you are walking in darkness, turn on the light! No need to fumble around in the dark when we have the power to switch on a light in an instant. Can you switch on the light that Jesus provides in just an instant? No need to walk around in spiritual darkness…without a ray of light…when we have Jesus and His promises at our disposal. You can trust in the Lord. There are at least thirty-eight verses in the Bible that tell us to…trust in the Lord. Here are a few:

·         Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing. Psalm 34:10

·         He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:3

·         Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

·         But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7

·         So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Hebrews 10:35

 

You can rely on your God because He is faithful, eternal, trustworthy, all powerful and all knowing. Additionally, He has promised to be with us always…even to the end of the earth. No need to walk in darkness. Jesus is the light of the world—and He wants your light to shine, too. Jesus taught:

You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14-16

Even as you sit six feet away from others…behind a mask…find a way to help others and be the hands and feet of the Lord in service those around you.

Prayer ~ Jesus, help me to walk and live in the light of Your teachings that I would totally trust in You and serve others for You.

Verses of Salvation ~ God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. - Matthew 5:11-12

That reward in heaven is the salvation that you seek here on earth. Seek to know Jesus as your Savior and establish a relationship with Him while there is still time.
