Tonight is the Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer Celebration at First Baptist Church, Richmond. The theme this year is: “Arise. Shine. When we rise up, He shines through.”
Over the past few days I’ve looked at various Scriptures about letting Christ shine in our lives. Above all we should strive to be a beacon in the night for those who are struggling to find their way.
But life isn’t easy, is it? Sometimes we get so bogged down in the muck and mire of life that we fail to let God’s hope shine out through us. It takes some major effort.
That’s okay. God appreciates our struggles and knows our intentions.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12 NIV
We must be diligent in our fighting. We must be focused on the Lord. We must trust Him to deliver the enemy into our hands. And His light will shine into all the world through us. To Him be the glory.
Lord, thank you for your direction in our lives. Thank you for giving us everything we need to stand firmly and to fight the good fight for you. May your name be glorified through our lives.
