Psalm 113:3-4. “From this rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.”
THE LORD OF LIGHT. Exalted before all leadership and every form of human glory The Lord Supreme dwells in unique and holy splendor – Beyond all forms we know, there is no way I can compare His name, His honor, His holiness, and the glory He will share.
The eternal light of His holiness was glimpsed when in His flesh He chose to be among the poor – the outcasts. He even called His friends. He who, with a word, made everything come to be – Submitted Himself to human flesh and was found like unto me.
His light shone in the darkness where mortal men all die. The reason for such grace was that we all in sin did lie. So, with His arms of mercy, He brought us up to light, And gave us the privilege of gaining some insight.
All around the world, His light shines in this present gloom. He lifts the fallen and gives hope, where before there was only doom. His glory shines where His people dwell, and His light reflects off them Like the moon reflecting from the sun, all light does come from Him.
In the past, He dwelt in light – light from Him does emanate. Now, in the present, light does shine when His Gospel we relate. In a future time, this darkened earth will see His light again – Not only everlasting light in heaven, but an eternal day brings.
“O Lord God, there is a reality beyond my present ability to understand - darkness will be a thing of the past. An eternal day, lit by the Sun of Righteousness, seems so beyond me. But I know it is true by faith, and I will live in it. I worship and praise, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
