\"bible+sunrise\"“The future is as bright as the promises of God.”<\/em> \u2014 Adoniram Judson (1788\u20131850. Remembered as one of the first American missionaries to travel overseas. He served there for 40 years. He also translated the Bible into Burmese.)<\/em>
\nLast I checked, God’s Word is filled with extremely bright promises both for the future and for our daily living! Check these out:<\/p>\n

“Your Word is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path” (Psalms 119:105 NKJV).
\n“The entrance (unfolding) of Your Words gives LIGHT; It gives understanding to the simple” (Psalms 119:130 NKJV).
\n“So we have the prophetic Word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a LIGHT shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19 NASB).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here is something to think about… On Mt. Sinai, Moses saw and heard just a wee bit of God (compared to what God offers us today in Christ). That brief encounter penetrated and saturated his face with a brightness that brightened up the lives of others around him (2 Corinthians 3:7-18). Unfortunately, it was just a bit too bright and everyone asked Moses to dim the glow a little!
\nWe all have a lot of stuff which competes to distract us when we first wake up; however, spending morning time in God’s Word is sure to brighten the entire day, bringing an unrivaled cosmetic shine to our face \u2013 one which will reflect Christ and brighten up those we meet through the day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
