What do you think of when you hear the word reflection? A mirror? Sun or scenery on the water? The moon?
As we reflect back on 2008 the question must be asked…what did I reflect, what did you reflect? This picture above speaks volumes about what we are to be like. The moon simply reflects the sun. The moon has no light in and of itself. The entire brilliance of the moon comes from its alignment with the sun. The more in line with the sun, the bigger and brighter it shines. The moon is a light in the darkness…a light that everyone knows when they see it. This sounds a lot like what we are called to do as believers…a light in the darkness that is a reflection of the Son.
Ephesians 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Determine now what you are going to reflect in 2009…we are called to make a difference.
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
