This week I had to write a devotional for my speech class.. The devotional comes from a verse I recently read in Isaiah. For me, the verse was really eye opening and well, challenging. Here is the devotional; I hope that the verse gives you same eye opening experience it gave me.
Speech Class Devotional
Isaiah 55:5
“Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you, because of the Lord your God, and the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you”.
One of the goals in life I have always had as a Christian was to be a Light for the people around me; that they would see God in me, not because of the words I said, but because of the actions I did. Because of the way I spoke, the way I thought, and way I lived. As Christians I this verse really hits home, and for me personally it really is like a challenge to live the “Lighter” life. It’s says that “nations, people, who do not know you will run to you, because the Lord..has glorified you”. People will run to us because we possess that light that shines out in the darkness. We possess that “thing” that they all want; Jesus Christ. This verse I think is one that we can kind of see as a challenge, to not only talk the Christian talk, but live the Christian walk. Jesus had people flocking to Him not by just the words He said, but HOW He said them. He was kind, just, gracious, all things we Christians need to imitate.
So take this verse as a challenge to live that “Lighter” life, to be that Light in the darkness.
