Shine

April 5 – Shine – Psalm 37:5-6

     David exhorts his readers to commit their ways to the Lord.  Give up your right to lead your life and let the Lord have it.  I like that phrase, “If God is you co-pilot, swap seats.` David says when you commit your life to the Lord you are trusting Him with you past, present and future.  You are giving God your time, talents and resources.  Commit is a choice like submit means to yield your life to a higher and more powerful authority.

     The promise is that your righteousness will shine like the dawn.  It will begin your day and lead your day into victory and the justice you receive from the Lord will shine like the new day sun.  You have the Son and He will set you free and you will be free indeed.  Whenever you give your life over to the Lord there is a promise of victory and light.  I had a friend named Darrell who did this and in a moment of time he was delivered from every habit and addiction he had.  He experienced the full gory of God`s help and you can if you allow the Lord to do that in your life today.
