DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 60:1-5

(1)  Arise,  shine; for thy light is come,  and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
(2)  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
(3)  And the Gen'tiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
(4)  Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
(5)  Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gen'tiles shall come unto thee.


ARISE AND SHINE, FOR THY LIGHT IS COME!

Brethren, blessed be the name of the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior from everlasting to everlasting, may his Holy Name be praised!  we thank him for giving believers awakening spirits with illuminating lights of eternal glories forevermore.

Case in point, in the above text Isaiah prophesies about vision of lights shinning out of Zion, when we hear prophesies of lights breaking forth out of darkness, our minds goes directly to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; for he is the light of this world: let us study the above text together, (i)  Arise, shine; for thy light is come,  and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Isaiah saw vision of the glory of the LORD shinning forth from Zion, he called out to the people to wake up and show their god given gifts, talents and capabilities for the light of Father is shinning among them; and favors, praises, and honors has been given, and doors are opened for his manifestation to be seen upon his people;  (2)  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.  Isaiah said, though planet earth will be covered with evil works of darkness and multitudes will rise up with evil traits and desires; the Father will shine forth his lights of righteousness upon believers and his praises, honor and fame will seen abroad all over planet earth; not only that,  (3)  And the Gen'tiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.  when believers shine their lights, unbelievers who are blindfolded by paganism and are heathen will see lights of righteousness and proceed into the last boat of salvation, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Points to ponder, if we shine our lights to glorify the Father in faith through the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; there are assurances of physical and spiritual blessings to enjoy, let us ponder on the following verse;  (4)  Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.  We all have at least one god-given talent or wisdom given to each and everyone planted in our spirits before birth; at times we go astray from what we really are born to do for the Father on planet earth; however, if we can identify at least one of our god-given talents, we will be able to shine, do well and be utilize by Jesus in miraculous ways to affect other lives positively; and we will be magnetize with multitudes; and fruits of our blessings will come from all four corners of the world to nourishment from our bosoms forevermore,

Fruits of thoughts,  dearly beloved, let us shine our lights; if we do well, Isaiah said,  (5)  Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gen'tiles shall come unto thee.  When we focus on inner gifts and talents planted in our spirits, and bring out its fruits of righteousness for the whole world to see for his glorification, and shine our lights among the darkness of this world; then we will see the manifestations of Christ's glory in our lives, and fellowship closely with him; and innermost parts of our spirits will reverence him as sovereignty, we will receive physical and spiritual blessings; for ample amount of oceans will be transformed into blessings and multitudes of heathens will see its manifestations and come to join the enjoyment of grace, receive salvation and life everlasting.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren,  today, we are encouraged to arise and shine our lights to the whole world to see and for unbelievers to come unto the lights and receive salvation; for the glory of the Father is upon us now and darkness has been done away with on the cross of Calvary; let us have awakening spirits and persevere with forbearance, shine our lights and not be weary; for eternal blessings are our inheritances through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forever and evermore.
Amen and Amen!
