BRILLIANT
Today's reading: Revelation 4-6
"The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones--jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow." Revelation 4:3 NLT
Brilliant-very bright; striking; distinctive.
I have some battery operated candles in the windowsills of our little farmhouse.
For a few hours each evening they twinkle, casting a little light from their plastic flame-looking tip.
That is until the batteries begin to fizzle out.
I needed to be reminded this morning of God's brilliance. His constant, ever-glowing brilliance.
Because there are days, I think His powers extend only as far as my faith.
I struggle with believing His abilities are some what linked to my imaginations, my personal aptitudes or my completed how-to-be-the-perfect-Christian checklists.
But His brilliance has nothing to do with me.
He glows.
He shines.
He radiates light.
He beams.
He is illuminated with a power all His own.
A power He chooses to shine on me.
And through me.
And around me.
