24 February 2013 - light casting out darkness
But our citizenship is in heaven,
and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
He will change our lowly body
to conform with his glorified body
by the power that enables him also
to bring all things into subjection to himself.
It begins with the revelation of who Jesus is.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance
and his clothing became dazzling white.
We are then empowered and confident to follow him as he leads us in exodus from this life to the eternal glory which awaits us.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus.
This is the true land which the LORD promised to Abram.
It was on that occasion that the LORD made a covenant with Abram,
saying: “To your descendants I give this land,
from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates.”
He wants us to have great confidence. He wants this hope to be our strength and the source of our perseverance.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
He alone is our light and our salvation. If we take the time to behold this light shining and the voice of the Father speaking it will renew us in hope in banish our fears.
