Isaiah 2:5 - O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Today all of the nations of the earth have been given this glorious invitation. Although Satan has deceived many about the existence of God the opportunity remains for everyone to come and receive all of the untold benefits that are available in His presence. God who created every dimension of this wonderful thing that we call life and creation has a special place for us in His presence. The way into His presence is through the Lord Jesus Christ who by Himself broke the chains of darkness that held us back.

Through Christ Jesus, God destroyed the twisted nature that dominated every action of man and supplied to us a divine nature so that we could walk in the light as He is in the light (Ephesians 5:81: 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:5 John 1:7). God is calling you today to come and walk before Him in the joy of all His goodness (Psalms 89:15; 16:11). Your heavenly Father wants you to walk today in the knowledge of His love for you. He wants you to be aware of His determination to give you all things freely to enjoy (Romans 8:32; 1 Corinthians 2:12). Do not allow this day to be wasted. Realize that you have access unto God by the Spirit and that this day was giving to you to come to know the ageless one who desires to reveal all of the wonders of eternity to you (Ephesians 2:18; 1:18-20).

Be blessed!
