February 2025 Revealing Light Newsletter

We are bombarded with notifications from the news concerning everything else going on in the world, all the drama, this and that, the accusations, the mistreatment, what one person said or how someone else responded. News notification after notification from all these different sources and apps… oh how quick it is to be bombarded by all of these notifications… but how often do we get a notification reminding us of God and His Word? A quick notification to remind us of the daily verse or to take a moment to pray once a day so as to not bombard us with another notification? 

After dealing with the bombarding notifications from the news, it would be nice to be bombarded with reminders of who God is and what He is doing, that He is present and working. The voices and events don’t necessarily stop, but we have an anchor for our soul, a firm foundation to stand on, a place to rest on high ground above enemies. In the battle of what is flooding your life, or trying to take siege in your life, what will you continue to surround yourself by? Will you be isolated to stand on your own against all of the noise, or will you remember God who is the King of His Kingdom as we continue to trust, pray, and participate in this world as Citizens of God’s Kingdom? May His Will be done for His Kingdom on earth as His Kingdom is in Heaven.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Ephesians 4:11–15 (ESV)
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Colossians 2:8–9 (ESV)
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
 
Jude 24–25 (ESV)
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
