Isaiah 60:1-2 says "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." Arise, shine is a great summary of today's sermon. As part of the sermon, our pastor played Keith Green's song "Asleep In The Light." Part of the lyrics go:
The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light
How can you be so dead
When you've been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed.
In other words - Arise!
Then, the last worship song today was "Go Light Your World." Part of these lyrics go:
So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world.
In other words - Shine!
My prayer is that God would help me to Arise and Shine everyday!
