Isaiah 60:1-2 -- On Shining

"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


I love the idea here that not only can there be light in the midst of darkness, but that we can be that light... like the moon, reflecting a brighter light to the world around us. The idea that God's light can rise upon us, even when the rest of the world is dark is incredibly hopeful. And being able not only to drink in that light, but to help provide light to others, is even cooler.

Today, let's remember these verses written for the last days, which is where we live. :) We can be okay, filled with light and happiness, even when the world seems dark. Let's look to God, and arise and shine, for our light is come. :)
