Shine, it's your day!

Numbers 6:25
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Someone didn't tell these little sunshine flowers that we have been in a drought, that fall is coming, that they have no reason to shine.

Like these golden treasures, as Christians, we need to know that this is our time to shine. God is good, loves us, and has good plans for our lives.

Don't give in to the way the circumstances appear. Take hold of the truth. Remember that God is in control. And SHINE.

Walk in the spirit, shining His light into the darkness.

WE win!

Shine on, Christians!

Standing out. Shining in the darkness.

The economy is in free fall, the misery index climbing to summer temperature heights, and it's stinking hot.

The world is slipping into chaos, earthquakes shake the foundations, and drought consumes the food supply.

But we Christians are a different people, our eye look to the skies in anticipation of His return. We are not bound to this earth, Heaven is our home.

Around us people are frantic.

Now is the time for us to shine. Let the world see His light of hope in us. Demonstrating His Peace beyond understanding in a world full of turmoil.

Now is the time to cling to the Lord, rejoice that He is, and let His light shine through you.

The world needs us to be different. To be peculiar. To be a light shining in the darkness to lead them to Jesus.

Deuteronomy 14:2
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
