Everybody can see this!

The Lord Jesus called us “the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).” It goes on to say that light is not to be hidden, but put in a place where all can see it. Our life and witness must not be hidden. Our lives and witness must shine among our families and communities. Matthew 5:16 says “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Note how the Lord Jesus equates our light with good works. Works that will reflect the love and goodness of God. As those around us see our good works, those very works will allow them to see God’s love for humanity. Never forget that God sees and appreciates your labor of love, even if people around you don’t. And it is God who will bless and strengthen you in your continued journey!

Proverbs 13:9 – The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

How precious are the feet of those that bring good news!

The Apostle Paul instructed us to put on the full armor of God. Part of that armor is to put on protection on our feet which he describes as the preparation of the Gospel of peace. So we are to make sure that we are continually to be both studying God’s word so that we can effectively present and defend the Gospel, and we need to be walking in the peace that the Gospel provides. It is pivotal to realize that Paul said that our feet need to be covered with this part of the armor of God because feet are symbolic of our walk and life journey. Our lives should be revealing the Gospel and His peace every day of our lives. We are the light of the world, and light reveals everything in its environment. Put on the preparation of the Gospel of peace today and be that light that God called you to be in your sphere of influence!
