For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus. ~ II Corinthians 4:6
Note: This devotion is from August 30.
As Baxter notes the italics on the word give in this passage indicates it does not occur in the Greek original.
Read the passage again, and take out that word.
The intention then, is that what God shines in, we are to shine out.
There is no higher form of service, and it is open to us all. The moon makes no noise as it reflects the sun, but its effects are great and wonderful. ~ D.L. Moody
Today, I pray that you and Iwill take Moody’s advise to heart and shine.
