Rise and Shine

Rise up and shine, 

for your light has come. 

The shining-greatness of the Lord 

has risen upon you.

Isaiah 60

This Scripture has many meanings,

but The Lord can speak 

to an entire nation and a single heart 

through the same word.

This morning He said to me,

My shining-greatness rises upon you.

Your light has come, again.

My glory gets displayed through

the miracle of the sunrise

and the miracle of My life

lived out through yours.

You can rise and shine because 

My shining-greatness has risen upon you.

You can go forth in peace because

 My life in you does the work.

I am your abundant life;

whether you are consciously aware or not,

I am filling you with life and 

flooding you with goodness

all day long.

The shining greatness of the Lord has risen on me.

I get to go forth as a display of His glory.

Miraculously simple.

Gloriously impossible.

I ask, Lord, that out of the 

rich treasury of Your glory, 

that I would be strengthened 

with mighty power in my inner man 

by the Holy Spirit indwelling 

my innermost being and personality.

Eph 3:16

To You be the glory.

Always.
