“The
Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a
deer, He enables me to go on the heights” - These are the last words of
Habakkuk (Habakkuk 3:19).
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to
live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age ...” (Titus 2:11-12).
Where does the strength come from - the strength we need for rising
from the depths of ungodliness to the heights of godliness? The strength
comes from the Lord, the God of grace, the God of our salvation. The
Proverbs speak of wisdom. True wisdom is to know that our real strength
comes not from within ourselves, but from above, from the Lord.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
