BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER
The way of the righteous is like the first
gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. Proverbs
4:18 (NLT)
The life of every
child of God is supposed to be a progressive one – from glory to glory. But
beloved, that does not mean you may not face an adversity. Rather, it means
that even in the midst of adversity, you are more than a conqueror. Child of
God, the Father’s promises for you is that your path will shine brighter and
brighter as you choose to walk in His truth and righteousness.
What is
righteousness? Righteousness is being in right standing with God. It is a gift
we receive from God. We are made righteous by the blood of Jesus, but then we are
supposed to also out of faith choose to walk in righteousness by choosing to
follow God’s commands. God is holy and He only draws near to those who walk in
His precepts. John 8 tells us that Jesus is the light of the world. The closer
you are to Him, the closer you are to the light source, and the brighter your
path will be. With every step you take, your path will begin to shine brighter
and brighter. And it is going to keep shining brighter until the day you see
Him face to face.
No matter what you
may be facing today, be encouraged because Bible says that your path is shining
brighter. All you need to do is to keep moving forward in faith; keep praying,
keep believing, keep walking in righteousness, knowing that God has a good plan
for you. Beloved, with every step you take and every decision you make in Him,
He brings you a step closer to greatness!
Prayer
Father God, I thank
You for the wonderful plan and purpose that You have for me. I desire to be in
right standing with You. Show me Your ways and teach me to walk righteously
before You. Shine Your light in my heart as I walk in your path of life. Thank
You Lord in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
