Devotion
You Are A Light
Proverbs 29:16 (NLT) When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall.
We all must learn the lesson that nothing – and I mean NOTHING – gets by under God’s watch! It is so easy to get discouraged about the manipulations, lies, and deceptions that go on everywhere we turn. They cause us to sometimes wonder if we are where God wants us to be. If Jesus lives in our hearts, we are not in the wrong place. As a matter of fact, we’re probably where He purposely placed us. Why? Well – why not? Somebody has to be a light in the dark places. We are His evidence that there is a better path to follow. Our presence in those difficult places may make the difference between someone’s conversion or their doom to hell. Because we have received His light, it is justified that we take the light within us and let it shine in the places and for the people who haven’t received Jesus yet. With this perspective, we are better able to keep our focus on the Source of our light rather than on the darkness that our light shines in. You are a light, and not just any light. You are the light of Christ in the earth. Shine.
