How Bright Are You

"How Bright Are You?"

Scripture Reading:
Matthew 5:14-16 (HCSB) 
“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Devotional Reading:
The Bible uses the term"light" in many different occasions.  In the above verse, Jesus uses the term to challenge us and remind us that our lives are open books for all to read.  Let you light shine so others may glorify God.  But when your light does not shine, then you disgrace God.  So you see, being a light is a big deal and a high calling.  This calling comes directly from the Lord.  It is a pretty wild thing to realize that you may be the only Christian some of your friends will ever met.  So are you shinning brightly as a "light".  What are you willing to do to shine brighter for Jesus Christ.  "If God is powerful enough to create this huge playground called earth, don't you think he's mighty enough to have created you exactly as He intended?"
Keep the Son in your eyes,

Galatians 2:20
