Day 3: Question of the day: How do you illuminate those around you?
Ephesians 5:8-9 (NLT) “For one you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
So it’s hump day...we’re in the thick of it and it might feel dark OR we may begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You are getting there! Our scripture today says that light within us (Christ) only produces what is good and right and true. We’re in the middle of this project and it’s a good time to remember that our work should be good, right and true.
Biblically, the concept of light always involves the removal of darkness. I bet at this point you have removed a LOT of stuff from your family’s house. Have you also removed darkness? Have you brought in the light of love? It’s not just about the work friends, it’s also about the people in this place. Are you a bearer of light? Do you shine? The fancy word for this idea is to coruscate*. Coruscate means to reflect vibrantly or to sparkle. Do you reflect the light of Christ? Do you sparkle?
There is an anonymous quote I want to leave you with it says: “We are stars wrapped in skin, the light you are seeking has always been within.” You have the right stuff, you are in the right place, you are with the right people. You are here for a purpose. Shine the light within you, the light of Christ.
Prayer: Dear Lord, the creator of light. Help our witness, which is our words, actions and deeds, to reflect the light of Christ at this home, at our camp and all throughout this week. Amen.
*Coruscate pronunciation: CORE-US-KATE
