October 15th – Ephesians 5:8

Ephesians 5:8

As Christians we know that good works aren’t done to earn salvation, but rather the manifestation of our love for God. For because He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay our sin debt, (John 3:16) no longer are we trapped in darkness. Now we are surrounded by the light of the grace, love, and righteousness that is the Lord. And out of gratitude for that magnificent gift, God asks that we pay it forward by letting our actions be examples for the world of that glorious Light shining within us.

True Fellowship (1 John 1)

1 John 1

I’ve reached an age where all my grandparents have passed on from this life, and I realize there is so very much that I’d like to know about them, but it’s too late. My grandparents all married late in their lives, so they were all in their sixties when I came along, and I was too young to realize the value of their wisdom they had to share with me back then.

October 14th – Micah 7:8

Micah 7:8

Both Israel and Judah went through some pretty dark times. Can you relate? Have you felt so low you feel swallowed by the darkness? Living in a fallen world means that there is no escaping times of trial. Yet even in the worst of situations, when we focus on God instead of our circumstances, He will shine His light of hope and redemption on all who love Him. And we can trust that whatever we are going through, God has a purpose for our pain and promises to use all things, even the bad, for our benefit. (Rom.8:28)

Exodus 34:30

After spending 40 days and nights on Mt Sinai talking with God, when Moses finally descended his face radiated with the shekinah glory of God. The Israelites knew something spectacular had happened on that mountain by how brilliantly Moses shone. That’s how I want to be. I want to shine so brightly that everyone can see that something spectacular happened from my time with God.

October 11th- 1 John 1:5

1 John 1:5

The light of the sun is so pure and so bright, that staring into it can literally burn the exposed tissue of your retina. God too, because He is perfect, holy, sinless, and true, shines so brightly that just gazing upon Him causes instant death. (Ex. 33:20) But thankfully just as we can enjoy the goodness of the sun through its rays, so too can we enjoy the goodness of God through His Son Jesus, the true light. (John 1:9) When we receive Christ as our Savior no longer do we have to walk in darkness, but instead the Lord surrounds us with His loving, glorious light.
