DEVO. 07.14.25

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV)‬‬

- Jesus makes a lot of “I AM” statements about himself. Seven in the book of John alone.

- But, do you know that he makes many, “You Are” statements to His followers.

- If you believe the “I Am’s” about Jesus, then you must also believe the, “You Are” statements about yourself.

- His “You Are” statements are full of Identity and purpose and vision.

- In Matthew 5:14 He says, “You Are the light of the world”

- I think it’s important for us, when we read that, to say, “I Am the light of the World.”

- If Jesus believes this about you, then you need to believe it about yourself, because you will never live something that you do not believe.

- Jesus, who is “The way, The Truth and The Light” says that “You are Light”

- Then you must say today, “What does light do?”

- Light's purpose is to shine!

- You are meant to shine in a dark world!

- When light gets in the presence of darkness, it should not take on darkness.

- It should not dim!

- It should “shine!”

- Today, examine your life and look at the places where your light has been flickering or dimming.

- Make the choice to shine even brighter!

- Shine in your morals and values.

- Shine in your speech and conduct!

- Shine in your habits!

- Today, make the choice to not allow darkness to creep in any more.

- Write down areas where you need to shine!

- “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬)

- Today, SHINE!

- Have a great Monday!
