JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Psalm 89:14 and 15.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

Jesus is the firm foundation for the Christian faith. At the cross, God’s love and justice came together to demonstrate God’s righteous justice toward sin and faithful love toward sinners. Jesus paid the price for the sins that we commit. He is the advocate we need for forgiveness.

He has done all the work that is necessary for our salvation. Our proper response is to receive this gift of grace with gratitude and worship.

That word “acclaim” in this passage means to praise God publicly and with enthusiasm. This is how we can shine our light for God.

This Light Reflection inspires us to acclaim God and walk in the light of His presence in the Year to Shine.
