Sunshine On Your Face!
"Giving thanks to the Father who has
qualified us to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in the light."
Colossians 1: 12
The sun never sets in Longyearbyen, Norway,
between mid-April to late August. For around
four months, the sun never goes down so
you
can take a sunny walk at 3 a.m. for the sun is
still up.
Every
believer lives in the spiritual equivalent
of Longyearbyen. Even at 3 a.m., we’re bathed
with light. Study of light in the Bible is complex,
for the term is used both physically and
metaphorically.
Light can symbolize many things.
Chiefly it represents the presence
of our holy, truthful, gracious God.
“For it is the God who commanded light to shine
out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to
give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
We’re to reflect the light of Jesus and walk in the
light.
Imagine living in a place emotionally and
spiritually where the sun never sinks below
the horizon. See yourself walking down the
sun-splashed trail. Walk in the light of the
Lord, and keep the sunshine on your
face.
"How beautiful to walk in the steps
of the Savior, led in paths of light."
Eliza E. Hewitt
