God Shines His Light

For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 ESV

When God shines on the outside He gives us His hope, but when He shines on the inside He gives us His challenge to live with the love of Jesus towards others. I shared a part of this earlier this week in a devotional, about how light can reveal some very unpleasant things – (Like big ugly bugs!)

This time around I take a slightly different look in the video. for this week. Also included are the songs – He Keeps Me Singing, Do Lord Oh Do Remember Me and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (One of my favorites). My prayer is that we can all stay so focused on Jesus that He will begin replacing some of our, not so pretty selfish motivations with His servant’s heart of love today!

Blessed – Video

Who doesn’t want to be blessed? I could use a few today but Paul reminds me that Jesus said; “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” My wife and I have been listening to Pastor Rick Warren and in one of his recent messages he talked about finding someone who is going through more problems than we are to serve. What a key to blessing that is. Learning to give a blessing opens us to seeing and appreciating the blessing that God has already given us!
