Today I was inspired by Light of the World by Lauren Daigle. As I listened I was moved by the words Glory, to the light of the world. Yes, the light of the world!

Whenever I watch the news I try to be mindful of the fact that God is victorious, so there’s no need to worry or despair. Today, this song reminds me to go a step further. I need to substitute light and hope for worry and despair and let it out into the world because God wants us to participate in His victory.

Scripture tells us God sent the Spirit of His son into our hearts. How are we using it to bring light and hope to the world? Let’s not hoard it. Let it flow out and through us. Let’s be the priest, prophet and king we were anointed to be. What does that look like for you in your state in life?

The song says: “the world waits for the miracle, the heart longs for a little bit of hope, Oh come, oh come Emmanuel.” Take heed and participate in the miracles waiting to happen all around you. Happy New Year! May it be one of much hope and abundant miracles. God bless you!
