THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 9-19-06
LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS
ISAIAH 58:8
Then shall the light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and Your righteousness shall go before You; the Glory of the LORD shall be your reward!
We live in a dark world - just take a look at the local and national news - its usually a lot of grim news- while the good news seems to be hidden from view- God has given us a life changing message that needs to be spoken and seen -its not enough to just tell people about JESUS - we must be willing to live it out loud for the world to see -JESUS said that a city on a hill is not hidden - the light springs forth from that city - and other can see it and are lead to safety by it - Ive fallen in love with lighthouses - partly because when I met my wife - her Mom had them all over her house- I had not paid much attention to them before then - but they just took me by surprise- they do what GOD has called us to do - lead those who are lost to safety - they bring light in the darkness - and just like the fact that the light of the lighthouse may be all the captain can see that guides him safely home - our message -the message of CHRIST crucified is just as bright - it leads the lost home!
We must show the world that is caught in darkness of sin - of death - of hatred that there is a better way - actually the only way things could get better is if the Light shines in the darkness - and if you have ever been down in the dumps - and it seems nothing can carry you out - then the light shines in your life and everything changes -lets bring that light that is within us to the surface for all to see - our light from CHRIST should not be hidden - let it shine brighty and help to guide those who are lost - Home! Light up the darkness with the LIGHT of CHRIST!
A side note: My Grandpa Hank was a captain and today's message reminds me of some of his wonderful stories about being out at sea - I can see him in my mind and the lighthouse is in view as well - I have visited several lighthouses in the past couple of years- they are all over our living room - and others notice them - if asked I want to tell them it shows the LIGHT guiding those who are lost - Home! Amen!
IN CHRIST the LIGHT shines in the darkness!
