Making the Most of the Light - GUMY Summer Challenge (CATCH UP WEEK: Answers: 1-5)

 

 

 

 

 

It is SUMMER!!!

 

Officially, last Friday, Summer 2013 started.

 

What I love most about summer is how long the days are.

The sun is up before 6AM and doesn't set until nearly 9PM.

There is so much light and so much time.

 

Light makes us feel like we have time to accomplish our goals or tasks for the day.

When darkness rolls in our bodies tend to go into rest mode - time to settle down and veg-out.

 

Although we need rest time each day - it is during the hours of light - during the day - that we are able to move our lives forward.

 

That is the gift that light gives us.

 

Salvation is the gift that God gives us to have eternal life.

Salvation is life moving forward - forward to heaven.

 

Both the light - our simple daylight and the light of God - and salvation help to move our lives forward. They help draw us closer to God - bringing us deeper into relationship with Him.

 

As you begin your next day - remember that each moment of light is a time to draw nearer to God - and a chance to shine in the glory of His gift of salvation. The opportunity to be with Him always:

 

"One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple."

Psalm 27:4

 

Scripture

Psalm 27

 

Quote

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.
