REFLECTING LIGHT

 

1 John 1:7

 

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." ESV 

 

The true Christian journey takes us to increasing light of the knowledge of God. We all walk in different amounts of light, but, nevertheless, we walk holy and completely in the light we have. God is Light. If we are walking in Light, together we are joined with one another to Him. We will resemble Him and we will have one purpose, that is, to reflect Him, bringing Him glory. We are fully able to do this because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

 

Lord, thank You for being the Way for us to be able to walk in Your Light. Help us to walk worthy and to walk closer to Your Light so that we will reflect Your glory, drawing others to You. In Your name we pray, Amen.

UNEQUALLY YOKED

 

2 Corinthians 6:14

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness.? NIV

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light darkness?" KJV

What exactly does it mean to be "yoked together?" A yoke is a device made of two curved pieces to enclose the heads of each of two work animals connected by a crosspiece. This device restricts each animal to going the same way, in step, with no deviation. When we look at this comparison with Christians and unbelievers, it becomes quite clear that yoking ourselves with an unbeliever is going to be a terrible situation. It simply will not work. There will be strife and getting off the path. There will be pulling one way then another. We, unlike work animals, have a choice with whom we unite (yoke) ourselves together. The Word warns us about it. Can we see why?

Heavenly Father, we are thankful for the Word that gives us sound direction for our lives to keep us from making wrong choices that can wreck our lives. Give us open hearts for the wisdom of the Word so that we will make Godly choices and not unite ourselves with unbelievers in close business, social, and personal relationships. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

LIVE IN PEACE

We are expected to fight the good fight against sin and evil. However,
we are not to fight against each other or those who oppose us. We are to
exert our utmost effort to maintain a peaceful attitude and behavior toward everyone. This is not always an easy thing to do. But, if we keep ourselves clothed with holiness which means being detached from worldliness and attached to Godliness, we will have access to the same attitude that is in the Lord.

Heavenly Father, help us to walk in holiness as Jesus did. Give us a Spirit of peace so that we will spread your peace to all those we encounter. In Jesus' name.

Read Hebrews 12:14

"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without
holiness no one will see the Lord." (NIV)


"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord." (KJV)

KEEP YOUR GIFT ALIVE

We have all been given a gift from God, to be used for His
glory and His purpose. It is our responsibility to maintain
the freshness and readiness of our gift by feeding it through
close communion with Him and with other believers. Then,
when God presents the opportunity for us to use our gift, it
will be ready and useful.

Read 2 Itmothy 1:6

"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God,
which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (NIV)

"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands." (KJV)

ANSWER THE DOOR

Do you ever wonder where your peace and communion with God are?
Do you desire it? If so, He is right here wanting you to answer His
call at the door of your heart. This is the place that you have gotten
separated from Him. He desires to come into your heart in complete
communion with Him. Listen for Him knocking, confess your sin, and
open your heart to Him. There is where you will find the peace and rest
you so desperately seek. It is with Him. Do you hear Him knocking at
your heart's door?

Read Revelation 3:20

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
(NIV)

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with
me." (KJV)
