“ARISE, SHINE; for thy light is come and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
Isa 60:1
As
we have the knowledge of God in us, and the favor of God towards us, our light
is come. And if God's glory is seen upon us to our honour (vs 2), we ought, not
only with our lips, but in our lives, to return its praise. For the Jews we don’t
see a deemed fulfillment of the prophecy in this chapter; we must conclude it
relates mainly to future events. It fore tells the purity and enlargement of
the church and the conversion of souls both Jews and Gentiles. As one of God’s
children, don’t miss the light (truth/salvation) you’ve been given for your
promised hope in Christ. Lift up your
eyes around about and see the goodness of God before you…”the sun shall be no more thy light by day nor the moon by night; but
the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God the glory.” (vs 19)
The permanence of God's
character guarantees the fulfillment of his promises, thus your life should be a bright as His promises.
