S(Isaiah 60:1,2) Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. for behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you.

This important prophecy reveals Christ's plans for His beloved people. Amidst a world of thick darkness, He offers His light. He is the true light amidst people who claim to see even while they stumble in blindness (John 1:1-14; Revelation 3:14-22).

Strangely, this light is not anything I can produce, yet Isaiah calls for me to stand tall and shine with Christ's light. I guess only people who deeply bow to this King will then have the capacity to stand erect and tall in the light of His glory--which will be visible enough for others to witness upon us.

Lord, I choose to be such a person upon whom Your radiance can rest. I don't like being in thick darkness, nor do I like being a soul-darkened person when I can be with You in Your hope-filled joyfulness. If that is how You choose to be glorified in me, I'm all for that.
