Manic Monday ~ Light

Singing "Just another Manic Monday!" The weather last weekend was awesome!! My family and I enjoyed as much of it as possible.  For the most part, we just hang out. Now, it's time for our regularly scheduled program. Today's Manic Monday is about light. Matthew 5:16 says that we ought to let our LIGHT shine.


The greek word for light in this scripture is:



Phos (#5457) ~ the manifestation of God's self-existent life; divine illumination to reveal and impart life, through Christ.

When we let our light shine, we are showing unbelievers that God is real. We are living proof that Jesus died on the cross for us and rose on the third day. Not only that, we should live in a way that is pleasing in God's eyes. According to Ephesians 5:8 -14, we should walk in light.

For you were once darkness,

but now you are light in the Lord.

Walk as children of light

(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all

goodness, righteousness, and truth),

finding out what is acceptable

to the Lord. And have no fellowship

 with the unfruitful works of darkness,

but rather expose them. For it is shameful

even to speak of those things

which are done by them in secret.

But all things that are exposed

are made manifest by the light,

for whatever makes manifest is light.

Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,

Arise from the dead,

And Christ will give you light.”

We must walk in the light of God. When we walk in the light, we walk in love, righteousnes, wisdom, and faith.
