Isaiah 60:1 Arise,  shine;  for  your  light  has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.                 

People  might have said to you, "Why are you so lucky?" or "You seem to be looking younger and younger," or "There is 
so  much  bad  news these days, yet you seem untroubled by them."                                                     


Now,   the  people  of  the  world  don't  have  spiritual discernment. They can only go by your physical appearance, behavior  and what happens to you. In other words, if they notice  something  different about you, it is because they see  the  evidence  of  God's glory on your life ? in your family and work life, health and finances.                 


Your  friends  and  colleagues  may have told you that you stand out from the rest as though a spotlight were on you. 
Indeed,  this  is so because of Christ in you, the hope of glory.  (Colossians 1:27) When God's glory rises upon you, your  words  carry weight, even if you are not eloquent. I should  know.  I  stuttered and stammered right up into my teens.  So when yourwords change people's lives, you know that it is not you. It is the Lord!                        


You  don't have to be a straight-A student or someone able to speak the Queen's English. You may be foul-mouthed like the disciple Peter, but when God changes you and His glory rises  upon you, and you stand up and preach, 3,000 people get  saved! (Acts  2:14?41) What is important is that God gives weight to what you say.                              


You  might be a nobody like Joseph, a slave cast aside and forgotten in a dungeon. Yet, the greatest king on earth at that  time  sought  Joseph  out  to have him interpret his dreams.  In other words, God will give to you answers that the people of the world do not have.                       


Maybe  it  is  your hands. When you lay hands on the sick, they  recover.  Maybe  it  is your ability to give counsel that  is  spot  on,  or  your  ability to speak into their future  with  a  word  of knowledge or word of wisdom from God.                                                       
"The  Gentiles  shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness  of your rising." (Isaiah 60:3)

My friend, when you  see  this  happening, it is because the people of the world  are  drawn to the glory of the Lord which has risen upon you!
