Arise! Shine! Let your light go forth!
Today is a new day to live and move and have your being in CHRIST. What are you planning to do with this day's opportunity to serve the Kingdom?
Will today be another lived in the vain pursuit of temporal acquisitions? Will today be spent seeking your own recognition, your own promotion, your own glory?

If so, your day will have been wasted. Oh, you may certainly achieve
all you seek. You may be held in high esteem by those who know you.
You may attain heights of professional and personal success. A crown of
glory may be placed upon you because of your lofty achievements.
But at the end of the day, you will feel empty. At the end of the day you will feel disappointed, for at the end of the day you will realize that nothing of time has the capacity to satisfy the deep longing within you that you are endeavoring to fulfill.
Rather than consume yourself with yourself today, allow yourself to be consumed with JESUS. Let yourself run after HIM with a full heart. Allow yourself to pursue HIS truth and HIS peace and HIS joy and HIS faith and HIS love...and when HE has overtaken you in you pursuit, you will be filled to overflowing with the blessings of eternity that will fully satisfy the deepest longings of your soul--not just today but forever.
