Lights, Shine Bright!
Aw! The Corn Moon aka the Harvest Moon aka the Super Moon! What a beautiful sight to behold! We have been in awe of its beauty the last few nights! Didn’t our Creator provide us with so much entertainment with His majestic and artistic abilities?
LOOKING UP to the night sky and seeing this moon brings me calm and comfort, especially when we consider all that is going on here on planet Earth. “Look up!” That’s a statement that we should all proclaim for ourselves and others! We should, 24/7, LOOK UP to THE ONE who put the stars and moon in place so that we would reflect Who we are looking to!
Isn’t it interesting that a brilliant moon, lighting up the entire night, is getting its light from the sun? It is totally dependent on the sun for that radiant light. I can’t help but think of how our relationship with our Creator is the same way. We are dependent on Him for our light. He is our bright light, and we are made to reflect His light.
Our world seems very dark right now — especially if we watch the news! Oh, but there IS HOPE! May we remember that wherever there is darkness, there is also the brightest LIGHT of Christ. He pierced the darkness forever. He is THE LIGHT that will never fade and will never be overcome.
Christ is our ultimate LIGHT source, and we are called to reflect His light and to “shine, Baby, shine!” We don’t shine on our own. John 8:12 says “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
May God use us to be a blessing during these highly combative and perilous times. All of us can pray for the sun to shine again for those who need God’s light the most.
What a beautiful reflection you and I can be to a hurting world. May we use the opportunities He gives us to shine His light wherever we go. May His love and grace shine through us. May we shine with our words and our actions.
Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Let’s remember that darkness cannot survive where there is light. So, shine bright, Lights, shine, baby, shine!
