Shining in Reflected Glory

UV 4131/10000 Shining in Reflected Glory The light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days ( concentrated in one), in the day the Lord binds up the fracture of His people and heal the wound He has inflicted ( because of their sins). Isaiah 30 v 26 The follower of Jesus, the worshipper of Jehovah is like the full moon, reflecting the glory of the sun. The Son’s light will be intensified and brighten our lives in all aspects. The Lord promises in this uni-verse to bind the fractured limb, to heal the wound with which we are afflicted. God is a God of justice and He longs to reveal His abundant grace to us. The world may frown on us but the Lord’s face shines on us as we walk in faith and obedience to His will and His word. He hides His face from the world but never hides from us. At the sound of our cry, He will hear us. He rushes to our help whatever be the situation we are facing. When our need is greater, the Lord intensifies His grace towards us. It is as if He has multiplied the rays of His light of truth, mercy and grace by seven times. During the time, that Moses called the plagues upon Egypt, it was dark inside the Egyptian houses but it was like daylight in the houses of the Hebrew slaves. We need to always be aware, thankful and joyful that the Lord is the source of light and life in our lives. He is the One who sends down a shower of blessing upon the seed we sow in every domain. He is the One who determines which will succeed, flourish, grow, multiply and which will be barren or perish. The times and season of our lives are in His hands. Like the moon, we should be content to faithfully reflect the light He sends into our lives. The full moon in the uni-verse is a metaphor for using our full potential to serve God, to magnify His name. To magnify is to concentrate, to focus more of our energy and attention combined with God’s grace and guidance to a limited area or domain of activity. As the moon is held in place, in orbit by the sun and earth’s gravitational pull, we should be drawn more to the Lord and His word than to this world. In comparison for our love for God, our earthly affections should diminish to seem almost as hatred. Jesus is the center of the spiritual universe and He holds us in place as we orbit around Him like millions of stars and heavenly bodies orbit around the core of the universe. The closer we are to Him, the more brightly we shine for Him. The more we understand, remember, apply, obey, share His word, the more strength, victory and joy we experience in this life.
