Praise be to God for Lighting Up Our Lives!

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” [1]

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” [2]

“Thank You Heavenly Father for commanding Your light of knowledge – the knowledge of Your glory in Christ Jesus – to shine into our hearts! It is like the miracle of creation…”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” [3]

“That’s where our lives are without You Heavenly Father… without form, void and dark. Thank You for speaking Your Word and for shining Your light into our unresponsible souls.”

“You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” [4]

“Thank You for choosing us to be of Your generation – the eternal generation – and making us a royal priesthood, and a citizen of Your holy nation, Your own special people. Thank You for calling us out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Thank You for being merciful to us!”

“For with You [Lord] is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.” “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” [5]
