"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.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."
Isaiah 60:1-3
This is talking about a time period beginning in the last days, which is where we are already, so I think it is true that our light has come. :) I love the idea here of there being darkness everywhere, and yet God rises upon us individually, bringing us light, and providing us as lights to others as well, allowing us to also rise.
At the end of the chapter it even tells us that the Sun and the Moon won't be lights for us anymore, because God will be our "everlasting light," which is also very amazing. :)
Some times in our lives are pretty dark, and sometimes we feel that darkness more than others, but God is the way to dispel it. The more we look to God, the more that we have light in our lives, no matter the light level around us otherwise. Today, let's look to God to light our lives, and let's be a light for others as much as we can in an increasingly darkened world.
