The Light That Shines In The Darkness

Psalm 136:8-9  

"The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: The moon 

and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever."

    Whenever we sit in the sunshine, our gratitude should shine forth, because by God's mercy it is moderated to our feebleness; let all who rule take lessons from the sun which rules to bless. By day we may well give thanks, for God gives cheer. The sun rules because God rules; it is not the sun which we should worship, like the Pharisees; but the Creator of the sun, "Our God."  Day after day our speech should include the mercy of the Lord; because every sunbeam is a mercy, for it falls on undeserving sinners who would sit in darkness, and find earth a living hell.
   God, never leaves us in complete darkness. The moon with her charming changes, and the stars at night, are one of light and benediction. The sun is enough alone; but when it is gone the moon can only give a humble imitation of his radiance. Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness, alone, can do more for us than the sun, moon and all the stars put together. He makes our day! When it is night, in the darkness He remains with us. My Friends, "He is the light that shines in the darkness." Let our thanks be as many as the stars, and let our lives reflect the goodness of the Lord, even as the moon reflects the light of the sun.

Amen!
