SHINE
ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT STUDY STARTING ON MARCH 4TH!!!!
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” Isaiah 60:1, NIV
Sometimes the darkness in this sin-saturated world seems all-encompassing, and we feel powerless to overcome the sorrow and despair. But, because our God is greater than all the gloom, we can count on this promise: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” (John 1:5, NLT)
The Light of the world has come, and we always have hope — even when we feel lost and are struggling to see our next step. Jesus has overcome the darkness of sin and death, and His Spirit now dwells in us.
God’s light always accompanies and shows us the way to go. When the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, the glory of the Lord went before them and followed after them on their journey. He blazed the pathway with His presence, protected them, and never left them alone.
Friend, this unchanging God is your God. He will illuminate your path “step by step” as you move forward in faith. The Almighty wants to reveal His glory to you and help you see more clearly just how awesome He is.
As you and I look to Him, the light of His love will transform us from within. Then, with His fire burning in our hearts, we have the privilege of radiating His love to brighten up this world.
Are you ready to arise and shine?
For the next 30 days, we will challenge ourselves to SEE, SEEK, and SHINE:
SEE:
Ask yourself: What else does God have to say about this Truth?
We’ll look at relevant passages that tie into each day’s theme and dig a little deeper into the principle God wants to impress on our hearts.
SEEK:
Ask yourself: How should this Truth impact my daily life?
We’ll consider a practical step we can take to live out the Biblical principle we’ve learned.
SHINE:
Ask yourself: Who do I know that needs to hear this message?
We’ll challenge ourselves to carry the light of God’s Truth to someone who needs to receive Him.
