You Can’t Turn The Sun Off

Your Cant Turn The Sun Off

I’m often amazed at how brightly the sun shines in Florida. More than once, I’ve gone into the laundry room to wash a load of clothes and attempted to turn the light off on my way out only to realize that the light had never been turned on.  It was the brightness of the sun shining through the window that made such an amazing impact.  When this happened the other day I chuckled and said to myself, “you can’t turn the sun off.” I suddenly thought, “hmm, there’s a message in that statement.”

 

When I received the revelation that the Lord was showing me in this illustration He was simply saying, “you can’t turn the Son off!” Jesus Christ is the son of God and He is forever faithful and true.  His character never changes.  We can always depend on Him.  We never have to wonder if He will be our Savior one day and change His mind the next day.  It’s an ongoing fact that He will never change.  It is absolutely impossible for Him to stop being who He is.  In other words, He won’t switch up on us.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8).

 

Let’s be intentional about patterning our lives after Jesus’ example. Let’s purpose in our hearts to consistently let our lights shine brightly for Him in all that we do.  May our characters always line up with the word of God.  And when we get off track, may we quickly recognize that our light has grown dim and run to our Heavenly Father for Him to restore us and reignite our light.

 

REFLECTIONS

1.  Is the light of Christ shining in you so much that people never question if you are a Christian?

2.  If you had to choose one thing about Jesus’ example that you are most fond of what would it be?

3.  Name some qualities that you have that shine on a consistent basis. Be sure to give God praise for each one.
