Arise,
shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee
(Isaiah 60:1).
When
the Bible says “The glory of the Lord is risen upon you,” it refers to the
glory within! It’s a spiritual terminology that shows that God has bestowed His
grace upon your life. It’s the outward manifestation of an indwelling divine
influence.
God
has called you to the life of glory, which is beyond the earthly realm. That
life is the manifestation of His glory: the perfections, beauty and excellence
of divinity resident in your spirit! This therefore means that the glory of God
is in your spirit, not on your head. Jesus walked and lived in the glory of God
everyday while He walked on earth. The people living in His day saw God’s grace
mightily at work in Him and testified to it: “And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
This
month, God wants you to shine more and more in the beauty and excellence of His
grace which He has bestowed on your life. He wants you to excel in your job,
academics, projects, relationships and all that you do, until the world begins
to wonder at you. The way to make this happen is to meditate continually on
God’s Word, for the glory is in the Word. As you do this, that glory will rise
from your spirit and be manifested in your life; through your words, deeds, and
ideas from glory to glory! Hallelujah!
