WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: The Light Will Shine Again

The new year always brings thoughts of being better organized. I always have a long list of things I want to get done. As the cold darkness of winter sets in, I normally allow procrastination to give me excuses to just sit quietly in my recliner with a cup of tea and something to read.

As children of God we cannot allow the enemy to whisper excuses to us. He will tell us there is time to read our Bible’s later. He will whisper, it’s cold outside, it won’t hurt to miss one church service. The more we listen the darker and colder it gets. Just like winter, the light verses darkness ratio is unbalanced. We find ourselves longing for warmer and brighter days. But things will not change unless there is more light. When the earth is in alignment with the sun to shine on our area more, the days will be brighter and longer.

Spiritually we are in a place of darkness. Which means, we are in a time when there is an absence of light in a lot of places. We are at the breaking of day, in the darkness before the dawn. The short period ahead will soon give way to brighter days.  The things in the world appear scary. It is easy to want to hide away from it all. But God didn’t design us to hide from evil. He created us to let our light shine. We are made to be warriors and those who stand strong. He is looking for those who will not hide from the giant but will be willing to stand and boldly proclaim, “I come to you in the name of the Lord.”

Now is the time for those who are willing to stand, to take a stand. Where are the Joshuas and Calebs. Where are the Davids and even the Esthers and Deborahs? We, too, have that kind of fire within us if we can just access it. We do that by not giving in to the enemy when he whispers his distractions.

We sometimes forget that we have been bought with a price. We have God’s fire within us to shine a light into the darkness. We have a choice to make; will we curl up and hide? Will we run into the battle and say, We are more than able to take the territory that God has given us. Because we do not battle alone. If he goes with us we are guaranteed to win the battle.

Romans 8:31-33 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

If God be for us, then who can be against us? Jesus already gave us his all when he died on that cross. He has nothing left to give us. Everything we need is within us, because His Spirit dwells within us. We just have to learn to trust, believe and surrender to the leading of the Spirit.

I understand that it is so easy and so difficult at the same time. It takes us a long time to learn to lean on him. He wants us to be like little children. God wants us to depend on him for everything. Because He is our everything.

When the days ahead appear dark, know that Spring will soon be here. The more we do to let our light shine, the sooner the tables will turn and God’s light will be shared all over the world.

Go out and let your light shine; you can make a difference in someone’s life. It is up to us to destroy the darkness.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
