Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

See, darkness covers the earth
       and thick darkness is over the peoples,
       but the LORD rises upon you
       and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

"Lift up your eyes and look about you:
       All assemble and come to you;
       your sons come from afar,
       and your daughters are carried on the arm.

Then you will look and be radiant,
       your heart will throb and swell with joy;
       the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
       to you the riches of the nations will come.

Herds of camels will cover your land,
       young camels of Midian and Ephah.
       And all from Sheba will come,
       bearing gold and incense
       and proclaiming the praise of the LORD.

All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to you,
       the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
       they will be accepted as offerings on my altar,
       and I will adorn my glorious temple.

"Who are these that fly along like clouds,
like doves to their nests?

Surely the islands look to me;
       in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, ^[a]
       bringing your sons from afar,
       with their silver and gold,
       to the honor of the LORD your God,
       the Holy One of Israel,
       for he has endowed you with splendor.

"Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
       and their kings will serve you.
       Though in anger I struck you,
       in favor I will show you compassion.

RUNNING AWAY FROM GOD

Sometimes we are reluctant to do God`s will.We find it inconvenient.We are too busy.We feel uncomfortable.At such times we are tempted to ignore God and hope He goes away.When he doesn`t disappear,we may even try to run away from Him.

PERSONAL REFLECTIONS; Why are you sometimes reluctant to do God`s will?
What false notions of God might play a part in your thinking?

Jonah had his own reasons for running from God`s will.His experience challenges us to view our reluctance in a new light.Jonah,much like the people of Israel around him,had little compassion for the people of Nineveh,their enemies.Nonetheless God called him to move toward those he hated.

Jonah 1:1-6

As we seek, this year, to draw closer to the Lord and be transformed into the image of Christ in this rapidly changing world, I believe it will be prudent for us to study and emulate the example the Lord set, especially during His earthly ministry. Indeed, by coming from heaven to earth to die on the cross on our behalf, Jesus showed us that He is indeed the Great Mediator – He stepped into the gap that had been created between God and man owing to the latter’s sin of disobedience. The bible assures us that He is still interceding for His people:

Folks Lets all ARISE AND SHINE
