Sometimes I come up with original content. Other times I come up with ‘borrowed’ content. It’s probably a great debate about which one makes it better. Today as yesterday will be borrowed.
I have tried to read more this month and I found some great reading plans at the YouVersion Bible site. I have actually been reading two different plans, one that is discussing a Christmas carol a day, and the other that is just discussed different areas surrounded the birth of the Christ. Yesterday there was a question posed at the end of the both readings and interestingly enough they were both very similar. One asked this
How has your life been a light to those around you? Make a point to be light during this season.
and the other this
What one thing could you change to give those around you a foretaste of God’s Kingdom of peace?
Great questions, how would you answer them?
14-16“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16The Message (MSG)
