Psalm
84:11
For
the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good
thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Loren
worked on his tan all summer. He wanted that "ruddy, healthy look."
All his efforts went into the pursuit of the perfect tan. By fall, he knew he’s
being the envy of all his friends and the object of desire of all the ladies.
A
suntan is an outward sign. Everyone who looks sees that the person has been
changed in some way. The same is true of our Son tan; the spiritual bathing we
take in Christ. Do people notice a difference in our lives just by looking at
us? If we have been touched by the light of Christ, people should be able to
tell. No longer do we walk selfishly and in sin. Through Christ, we walk
upright, and God shines forth through us. Let us work hard on our spiritual
image as we do on our physical one.
Prayer:
Shine Your light on, in, and through me, Lord that I might fight against
darkness wherever I go. Amen.
