Building Relationships Through God's Love

​Scripture of the Week: Psalm 37:1-8  
Don’t be upset by evildoers or envious of those who do wrong, for soon they will wither like grass and fade like the green in the fields. 
Trust in Adonai, and do good; settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness. 
Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and he will give you your heart’s desire. 
Commit your way to Adonai; trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine forth like light, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before Adonai; wait patiently till he comes. 
Don’t be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.
Stop being angry, put aside rage, and don’t be upset — it leads to evil.

Light Up the World

Brothers and Sister, you have heard many people talking about lighting up the world in many different ways but only one true light will make the earth right again. There are those who think we need to destroy the world with the fire of nuclear holocaust while others believe that the world should be destroyed through thermal exhaust causing the volcanoes to erupt and reset the world with new land. Some pray for an external galactic body (asteroid) to shake up the earth and wake it up. Well the last group is not far off with wormwood but with all these ways there is only one true way to light up the world with God’s presence, us. 


“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
The Everlasting Light
God created wisdom and knowledge out of chaos and destruction. This knowledge is the first thing called light. It is the understanding of things, how they are designed and what uses they will have once created. With this light came the spoken and written Word so that the wisdom could be shared with all creation. We are part of that because the Word is written in our hearts. In fact God’s name is in our DNA so we have the capacity to shine the wisdom of the Word with those of the world that dwell in darkness. Because we placed our faith, our trust in God we are a conduit of His light.
What Can We Do With It
The first thing is not abuse it, do not change it in any way shape or form for that would turn us against God. Remember, Jesus changed nothing when He spoke about Scripture but others did. So we must be vigilant in understanding the divine writings while taking heed in how other writers in the New Testament understood it.
 We must learn God’s Word, know it, understand it, memorize it, and share it. Do not let it get snuffed out by the world when someone persecutes us. When one is persecuted, all are and we must be ready to strengthen our fallen. When God’s Word is written in the heart it becomes part of our very being. Not one word from our tongues should speak evil of someone else. The Light of God’s Word is the goodness of it, not the evil inclinations that cause temptations which can lead ourselves or others to sin.  
How Do We Shine?
We shine with every good deed. We shine when we conduct ourselves in accordance with the Commandments of God and not just the summing up of them that we were given by Jesus. Remember when Joshua was learning about God through being mentored by Moses. There was so much more that Moses could not say so Joshua learned it from God directly. We have the opportunity for clarity through prayer, we just need to remember how not to ask of things for us but care for others first. God speaks to us in the quiet, listen. Then you will know how to shine in whatever situation you find yourself in.
We are God’s Children and He will guide us when we follow. God places us where we need to be and when we need to be there and gives us the right words to say. Stay in His Holy Word and shine your light brighter than the morning star. 
May God Bless each and every one of you and may His light shine on you and through you. May your words reflect god’s presence in your life and bring the Kingdom closer while defeating all evil. 
In God’s Love and Goodness,
Rob, Servant of God
