Good morning, Champion. Shine your light 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. It’s good to remember and remind ourselves of who we are because, at the same moment, we are reminding ourselves who we are not any longer! Remember, we always live out of what we think. We first think, then we feel, then we behave; this is great if our thinking is correct and based on God’s word but if our thinking is wrong or warped that will always affect the behavior or output of our daily lives. Let’s look again in the mirror today and see our true identity: Chosen, Royal, Holy and His own special people. We also need to remember we have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light! • Our lives are no longer darkness but light! We are no longer in the darkness that we once were, so we should never live like we are still there. • Our post code/zip code is now “marvelous light”; don’t let your enemy try and trick you to pilgrimage backwards to former darker places, but rather set your face ever forward, deeper into His brightness! • You were called out of darkness, so ever let darkness be a thing of your past (old creation). You are now a citizen of the light, so let His marvellous light shine through your life again today; whether in the work place, community or home let your light shine, be that city on a hill! Shine bright for God today in a dark world – the darker it gets the brighter our lives should become. You are called to shine, so SHINE! Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, that I am no longer a child of darkness but a child of light; You have delivered me from the power of darkness and translated my life into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love. Today, let Your light shine through my life; I do not want to live to blend in but to stand out. Help me to remember that the former ways of darkness are no longer my ways, they are the ways of a place I once knew but not the place that I now call Home; thank you that You have made me a child of the light. Amen Bless you – have a great day, and shine! Andy
