BE A LIGHT=IN TODAY'S WORLD
We live in CONFLICTING-
Disappointing times=in which
There is NO PUBLIC UNITY
Where we can't even AGREE
On a leader=we can't LOOK
To political people
For SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
We need to be THE VOICE=
The voice for the world
WE need to be the LIGHT
IN OUR DARKNESS
“If you remove
From your midst oppression=
False accusation
And malicious speech
If you BESTOW
Your bread on the hungry
And SATISFY the afflicted
The LIGHT shall rise
For you in
The darkness
And the gloom
Shall BECOME for you
Like midday” Isaiah 58:9-10
ISAIAH tells us today
That when we are CONFRONTED
By HUMAN SUFFERING
Our call is NOT
To look to another
To fix it all
Our call is to
LEAVE our comfort zone=
STEP FORWARD
For the NEEDY=and embrace
Our brothers and sisters
In Christ
BE THE LIGHT=
In this world-
Be the light
In this dark dark world
“The Lord wraps himself-
IN LIGHT=
As with a garment
He stretches out
The heavens
Like a tent” Psalm 104:2
“The people
Walking in darkness
Have seen a GREAT LIGHT” Isaiah 9:2
“This is the verdict=
LIGHT has come
Into the world
But people loved darkness
Instead of LIGHT=
Because their deeds
Were evil” John 3:19
With the election=coming up
This year=there seems
NO END
To the political talk
We LIVE in a spiritually
Barren time=NO MATTER
Who wins the
Upcoming election
We were born to FIGHT
GOD'S BATTLES=and there is
NOTHING stopping us from
Being that LIGHT
In Matthew=chapter 5
Jesus gives us the BEATITUDES=
And he tells us
We are BLESSED
“BLESSED are
The PURE in heart
For they will see God” Matthew 5:8
This year=no matter
What else happens=
It is TIME for us
To step forward=and
BE=LIGHT
To our country=and our world
In the name of Jesus=and OUR FATHER=our ONGOING LIGHT
