Genesis 31:1-55; Job 42:1-17; Matthew 17:14-18:14
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Light dispels the confusion and fear that darkness produces. Light makes things clear and enables us to move with confidence. Jesus was the supreme example of light-shining and instructs His followers to let their light shine as a testimony to others. Unfortunately, like the moon, we have no innate light of our own. The moon reflects the sun’s light and so we reflect the light of Jesus and that is why every day we need to absorb His light by reading His Word
and praying. Then we can shine brightly for the Lord. —Paul Young
Jesus bids us shine, with a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle, burning in the night.
In this world of darkness, so let us shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine. —Susan Warner
