Sat.’s Devo - Wearing Light

Read: Judges 17:1-18:31, John 3:1-21, Ps. 104:1-23, Pr. 14:20-21 Both of our main readings start with: “There is a man of ______ whose name is ________. One was an Israelite in deep deception thinking he had the truth and the other realizing he didn’t have the truth and seeking it. The first, Micah, was trying to serve God in his own terms by breaking God’s law. He stole from his own mother, had graven images in his house and set up a system of worship not laid out in God’s law. He lost everything. Nicodemus knew and followed the law, but saw something worth risking his own perception of God and his reputation. Nicodemus stretched his faith to seek out Jesus and hear about His salvation. He gained everything. Jesus made the statement that whoever lives by the truth comes into the light. In our Psalms today it says that God wraps himself in light as a garment. God wears light! I wonder what we would look like if we wore light. We actually do. The light is inside us, but God wants it to shine out of us like we wrapped ourselves in Him. Lord, may we break open so You can spill out. May our light so shine before men that they will see our good works and glorify You.
