SHINE

I was praying from the moment I woke up today. "Lord, shine Your light into the darkness of this day!" Then I opened up my bible to Psalm 80 (vs 1-3)

"Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! Before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your strength and come and save us!
  Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine and we will be saved."

I started thinking about halloween and all the darkness that will happen today. And our government, the corruption and poor leadership. Our bleak future, with healthcare, debt and a host of other problems and I just cried out,
                 "Resore us, O God; cause Your face to shine and we will be saved!!!"

And I stopped right there because it hit me: It's all about Him.

Everything is about Jesus. If we got a glimpse at the One who captivates the cherubim 24/7 for all of history, we wouldn't pray for anything else ever again! Only for Him. For more of Him. Greater revelation. And when He comes to us, His light casts out any darkness in an instant. 
                                          
                                We don't have to pray about the darkness!

We just have to ask Jesus to come. He is light. When you turn on a light in a dark room- BOOM. End of darkness. There's no need to pray about the darkness or cast it out- it's just gone. Like that.

Solving our problems isn't hard for Jesus. It's easy peasy stuff for Him. Being a glorious light that takes over the world comes natural to Him!

Seek the man, Jesus. Ask for more of Him. Search for the knowlege of who He is. Pray for His light, the glorious light that lives between the mighty angels.

When He shines forth His light, everything changes.



At the end of this age when darkness covers the earth, you know what we'll cry out?

COME LORD JESUS!  The Spirit and the Bride say, COME!




SHINE.
