SHINE BRIGHT​​​​​​!

Matthew 5:16 – Devotional

Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

There seems to be nothing as depressing as a dim light bulb. A light bulb is designed to give light! Just calm down, I can almost hear your protests that there are certain uses for light to be reduced in order to produce a desired effect.

Regardless of whether light is dimmed or diffused, it overcomes darkness. As the old spiritual song goes, The darker the night the brighter the light shines. I hope I have the words right, but the meaning is clear.

Many people seem to be living in a state of gloom and darkness. Sin and strife seem to pervade the very fabric of our modern world and no matter what worldly forces are used to bring order out of our chaos, they fail!

There is only one answer and that is in Jesus Christ – the LIGHT OF THE WORLD! There is another song we used to sing when I was just a boy in Camas, Washington. This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine! Let your light of Christ shine bright so others can see Jesus in you!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
