"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
Isaiah 60:1-2
This chapter is talking about the last days, which we're getting closer to all the time, so something to look forward to. :)
I really like the symbolism of our light coming, and of the Lord rising upon us like the sun. :) When we feel lost in the darkness around us, we don't have to lose hope because we have this promise. God will rise to light and warm us, even in the midst of "gross darkness."
I also like the command to us to arise and shine... because that light isn't just shining upon us. It is our light from God, and it is *in* us as well, allowing us to join with God to light the world and light the way.
Today, let's trust that the light will come, and reach out to God in the midst of whatever darkness we're experiencing, and know that as we determine to follow him, he will rise and light our way. And when we get some light in our lives, let's also arise and shine, and share it with the universe. :)
