GOD IS OUR LIGHT
Today's reading: Isaiah 56-61

"No longer will you need the sun or moon to give you light, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and he will be your glory." Isaiah 60:19 NLT

We all have 'a list'.

Maybe yours begins with one of the following headings:

Life will be perfect when...

I'll have it all together when...

I'll be a great Christian when...

If only these things would happen...

And yet, as we read today's verse, as we soak in the words, as we attempt to grasp the truth in this portion of Scripture--our own lists pale.

The things we have listed look unimportant, maybe even petty.

The items we have keyed into the equation of success and happiness seem self-centered, self-glorifying, selfish.

This verse tells us that if we truly have Christ living as the Lord of our life, we need nothing else. Nothing outside our hearts. Nothing tangible. Nothing we can hold in our hands, accumulate in our homes or rack up as accomplishments on our part.
