Title: Arise and Shine.

-


"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." Isaiah 60:1.
Devotion: This verse comprises three parts as discussed below. 
1. Call to Action: "Arise, shine;" - This part of the verse is a call to wake up and take action. It encourages individuals to stand up, be active, and let their inner light shine. Spiritually, it signifies waking up to one's purpose and potential, and stepping into the roles and responsibilities that one is meant to fulfill. These roles and responsibilities can only be carried out if you are spiritually ready in that you have given your life to Christ and you live in total obedience.
2. The Arrival of Light: "for thy light is come," - This refers to the arrival of divine illumination and guidance. It symbolizes the presence of God's Holy Spirit, the spirit truth, God's wisdom, and favor in one's life. All these for those who have Christ. Spiritually, it indicates that God’s light has come to dispel darkness, ignorance, and fear, bringing clarity and direction when you preach the gospel of Christ to the people.
3. The Glory of the LORD: "and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." - This signifies the manifestation of God's presence and majesty. It implies that God's glory is evident and is shining upon the you and those who received Christ. Spiritually, it represents the honor and blessings that come from living in alignment with God's will and experiencing His presence.
  In essence, Isaiah 60:1 is an exhortation to embrace the light and glory of God, to rise above challenges, and to reflect His light in the world meaning preach the word of God. 
  It's a verse that encourages spiritual awakening, empowerment, and the manifestation of divine grace in one’s life. 
  It’s a beautiful reminder that each person carries a divine spark within them, and with God's guidance, they are called to illuminate their surroundings with love, truth, and righteousness. 
 How does this verse resonate with you personally? Is there a particular way you find it meaningful in your life right now? Arise today and reflect the God's light to the people around you, bring them to the knowledge of Christ. God bless you as you do his work. Amen.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
