Our Scripture reading today is Isaiah 60:20, "Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
There is coming a day when we will no longer need the sun or moon. All light will come
directly from and through the LORD. As we look forward to this, we can rest in His light
now. “In the old order of creation, life was governed rigidly by night and day and unpredictably by the
fitfulness of sun and moon. But in the new order of salvation, the ruling principle is the changeless
presence of the Lord.” (Motyer)
It is our responsibility to live in such a way that His light shines through our lives to
those who are still living in darkness. Matthew 5:16, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
