Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD!

Isaiah 2:5

Am I walking in the Light or the dark?

It’s easy to walk in the dark. Life can be depressing and discouraging which sometimes makes it difficult to walk in the Light.

Darkness has:

• Attacks from the enemy
• Circumstances out of our control
• Relationship disappointments
• Shame and despair of our past

But walking in the Light offers:

• Power to defeat the enemy
• Temperance to navigate through your circumstance
• Courage to move beyond disappointments
• Grit to walk away from your past

“You know that, if you were to go to Australia in a good sound ship, you would get there even if you were always to lie down in the hold among the luggage and the rats; but I should like to go in a first-class cabin, and I do not see why you and I, if we are going to heaven, should not go first-class.” – Charles Spurgeon

Walk in the light… first class living.

• Allow God to reign now in your life, not waiting until the earthly reign of Christ.
• Choose to live in the right now the blessings of Christ.
• Live fully and wholly in the love, grace, and mercy He offered when He died on the cross for you.
• Say “yes” to all His life-giving instructions to experience full first class living while waiting for His coming.

Wow! This quote about the women daughters of Zion, women of Judah!

“To meet their unfounded accusations, he lays open the inward disease, which is manifested in the whole of their outward dress.” – John Calvin

I’m quite certain I would not want my inward disease exposed. And begs the question, how has my inward dress manifested itself in my outward dress?

They were

• sexually seductive and promiscuous
• proud considered themselves better than others
• obsessed luxury, and the finer things
• devoted to appearance and image

Do all things necessary to walk in first class living, and remember my inward will be expressed outward.
