Podcast 22.2 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
We praise Thee, O God!
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 ESV
Our worship is a response to the work of God in our lives. He has made us His people by calling us from darkness and into His marvelous light! Why? So we may proclaim His excellencies. So will you do it? Ask the Holy Spirit for help praising Him today.
For Thy Spirit of light
And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 ESV
The Holy Spirit illuminines our darkness. We were stumbling in the dark and did not even know it. Thank the Spirit for the light He brings and the direction He provides.
Who hath shown us our Savior,
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 ESV
The Holy Spirit is the One who reveals Jesus Christ to us. Without that work we would not be able to find peace with God, let alone praise Him for the same. Thank Him for showing your your Savior.
And scattered our night.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. Isaiah 9:2 ESV
How we praise Him for the dawning of the light! It pushes back our darkness and the darkness around us. Ask the Holy Spirit to do His work of pushing back the darkness in your life today simply by allowing the light of Christ to shine.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.
We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.
Refrain:
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
