Are You Glowing In The Dark?
After the last post the Lord opened more thoughts on this upward call from Philippians 3:12-14. I saw that how in 1 Peter 2:9 we are called out of darkness into His marvelous light to show forth the glory of the Lord. The only way we can do this is by staying in the Light. I remember as a kid an item that my brothers and I would get, usually at our fair. It was either a cross or a picture of Christ surrounded by material that when you kept it in the light, it would glow in the dark. We used to see whose object would stay glowing the longest. The key was to keep it in the light for prolonged periods of time. I thought- YES- that is what God is requiring of us. We need to spend prolonged periods of time in His Light so that when darkness comes to us or those around us, we will glow in the dark. How do we spend those times in His Light? What are some of the things that we can do so we absorb His Light in our lives so we can be shining examples of the Lord Jesus Christ to a dark world
