“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”~ 2 Cor. 4:6
How beautiful common things become when linked to Jesus. This is one of the great secrets of the Christian life. A dreary, clouded day can be transformed, when the "Son" shines though.
Sadness is turned to joy in His presence. John’s loneliness flees when he becomes conscious of his Companion on Patmos. Fear turns to courage when we can say, “The Lord is with me.” Everything, and everyone, looks different when we see them through His eyes. The true value of the mundane things in life is never realized until they are set in the light of the Lord. It is then we see the real worth of the menial. He lights up all our common lamps.
Paul speaks often of “Christ in you.” That little preposition “in” shows the infinite has entered into the finite. We are now in the kingdom of everything that endures.
MY PRAYER Father, help me realize today that all that makes life worth living is in Jesus, that He is the summation of all things, and, apart from Him, every day is a cloudy day. But, in Him, all darkness is dispelled. May all my daily duties be done unto Him. Only then will drudgery be turned into delight. Amen.
