And the Stars by Night

 

The sun shall be no more

       your light by day,

nor for brightness shall the moon

      give you light by night,

but the LORD

   will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.

                       Isaiah 60. 19

(No comparison.

We are no longer dependent

    on favorable circumstances,

                   but on the LORD.

God helps us not just

          see in the dark,

but see even the darkness differently.

Even when the lights go out,

   God has strategically placed us

   right here to bear fruit,

   do good,

   and bring Him glory.)

O LORD,

You do not just provide us light,

    but You draw us

    even closer

            by means of it.

Enlarge our vision

    that we would not just

                     see need

             and respond to it,

but that we would

     recognize 

     and acknowledge You.

There is so much more

    beyond our little circle,

        deeper than we can see.;.

You bring daybreak

       to the shadows.
