Reflecting God's Radiance in a Dark World

[Christ4Ever]

Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance. Isaiah 60:2-3

Where do you find your hope today? Many look to politics or some mix of religion and politics in order to bring about change in our world. However, you must place your trust in a greater power that remains at work in God's people but will one day become visible to all. In fact, God assured Israel that all rulers would one day see God's radiance over His people.

You can begin to offer hope to a world struggling in darkness by first asking God to show His radiance in you. How can you surrender to God's plans and purposes today so that His radiance overshadows the darkness of this world? If you rely on your own light, you'll only become frustrated and discouraged.

Isaiah assures you that God's radiant light in His people will be undeniable. There's no mistaking the wholeness and redemption of God in this world when lives are restored and made whole. In the face of darkness, your first step is to present yourself to the Lord so that you can more fully reflect Him to others.

I find hope in what Jesus taught as the solution to the worlds problems.

Imagine the world obeyed Jesus teaching about not being able to serve God and money.

Instead they serve money, and are willing to extort nations and neighbours to increase their wealth.

Plundering another nation , increases ones own nation wealth , therefore , its justified.

If they only obeyed Jesus in Loving one another. Oh, how the World would be such a different and better place!!!
Sadly, they do not want that, for avarice is closer to the heart of man then the Love of Christ is.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.
