We are already in March. The year has been filled with many different emotions; from mass shootings, to global catastrophes in earthquakes, snowstorms, and we have so much more of the year to go. Let’s be mindful of what we fill our minds with as God works in this season of our church.
Do we get caught up in the negative media and feel discouraged? Can we overcome the darkness we face with the light God gives us? Matthew 5 tells us we are the light of the world and we are not to keep it hidden, but to shine before others and glorify the Lord. We have been entrusted to bring light in the midst of darkness and share the hope we have in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5 tells us that if we are in Christ, we are a new creation, and a new thing has come out of the old. We can expect that God will do and is doing a new work today. As we approach Easter, let’s remember that we are no longer our old selves, but awaiting the return of Jesus after His victory at the cross. It was a dark day, but light came through, and salvation was given to all who call on Jesus, that is the hope we proclaim. As more things will occur outside of our control this year: Let’s ask ourselves how we can continue to be the light of the world, not being afraid of the dark, and standing up in the name of Jesus. Let’s be the new creations that don’t live in conformity to the world’s standards, but live in accordance to God’s heavenly standard. Let’s look to the hope and victory that He gives us, and live with the love and joy that is only found in Christ. Comments are closed.
