“Now these be the
last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up
on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel,
said, The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. The
God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men
must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the
morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender
grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.” (2 Samuel
23:1-4)
Today’s Morsel: I have heard
people say that their parents, minister, or spouse gave them some instructions
on their deathbeds when they knew it was going to be their last days on
earth. I have received instructions from two men that I knew gave me
instructions just before they died. I still cling to both of their
sayings. Scripture says that these be the last words of David.
David didn’t say This is what I’m telling you. He said this is what God
said to tell you. That was what one of the gentlemen that called me told
me. Notice what God told David to tell them, “He that ruleth over men
must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the
morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender
grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain." If we
lead and rule over God’s people in righteousness and respect for Him, we will
shine bright like the sun. There will be no distress, affliction, or dark
times that overtake us. We will shine just like Jesus, who is that bright
and morning star! Those that have the light of Jesus in them should be shining
that brightness into the lives of others.
Sing: When we’ve been there ten thousand
years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise then
when we first begun.
Thought For Today: This little
light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
