Scripture Of The Day – January 17, 2022

We are entering into the prophetic fulfillment of Isaiah 60:1  which says,

Isaiah 60:1 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.”

We are to arise! The word "arise," in Hebrew means to “get up," "perform," "rouse up," "stand (up)," "stir up," "strengthen." All of these words are action words that suggest the need to get stirred up and strengthened in God; to get up and perform God’s purpose for their life. Another word used in this context to describe arise is the word "abide." We get the strength to arise in God by abiding in God. This is what is needed to move forward in His glory and be used for His glory.

Secondly, we are to shine. Here are a few definitions of the Hebrew word for "shine" in this passage: "show light," "set on fire" and "kindle.  Isaiah was prophesying of a time for God's children to rise up and shine for Him, to be illuminated with His glory, and, also, to KINDLE (disciple)  others! In other words, we kindle others with the glory that glory carriers carry by first discipling them into an understanding of their Christ identity, their right standing with God, and how to “walk in the spirit.”
