Shine Like Stars


     The stars glow with beauty in the night sky. The sun breaks through the clouds after a storm. A candle brings warmth to an otherwise dark room. No matter the depth of the darkness, just one small light makes a difference. That light? It’s you and it’s me! Paul tells us we can shine just like those stars through the night sky.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:14-15

      I love the thought of Christians around the world, scattered throughout the darkness, shining, each one individually, wherever they are. The light is scattered through the darkness, just as the stars are scattered throughout the night sky with their beauty and light. We can make a difference. Jesus asks us to shine with His light. Let’s get started and shine!

Jesus,

Show us how to break through the darkness around us. Give us opportunities to share the Gospel of salvation to a hurting world. You do not want to lose even one. Scatter us throughout the world as we shine with the power You give us in the Holy Spirit.

Amen
