“The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.” — Isaiah 60:19 (KJV)

Sit with that for just a moment.

Isaiah is painting a picture of a day when the things we normally depend on for light, like the sun and the moon, fade into the background because God Himself steps in and becomes our light.

And I do not know about you, but there have been seasons in my life when the sun felt hidden and the night felt long. Times when I was waiting on something or someone to brighten my world again. Times when I thought, If I could just get a break… if this one thing would change… if this one prayer would be answered… then the light would finally come back.

But Isaiah reminds us of a truth that settles the soul like rocking in that old porch chair with a cup of coffee in hand:

Our light does not come from circumstances. Our light comes from the Lord.

-When the world feels dim, He shines.

-When the night feels heavy, He glows steady.

-When hope seems thin, His glory fills the room.

Friend, the light you need is not waiting on a better day; the light you need is already walking with you.

So lift your head today.

Step out onto the front porch of faith.

Take a slow breath and remind your heart:

God is my light. God is my glory. And God does not run out.

The sun sets.

The moon wanes.

But the Lord, your everlasting light, keeps shining.

And He is shining for you today.
