SUBJECT: Day 12
Other Subjects in this Topic:
"(There shall be) One that ruleth over men righteously, that ruleth in the fear of God. He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springeth out of the earth through clear shining after rain." (2Sa_23:3-4.)
This is a prophecy of our Lord Jesus. To the soul under His governance He will be as the light of the morning. Nay, He Himself is the true light of the morning. "To you who fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings." Here may I learn to seek the full and true blessing of God in the morning. The sun that riseth in the morning gives light the whole day; were there no morning there could be no day.
When I find the Lord Jesus in the morning, and know Him as the Light of the morning that rises on my soul, there He will be the whole day, my Life and my Joy.
Soul! be this thy task each morning. It is not reading or praying that brings blessing. The Lord Jesus must let His Light rise on your soul, and this He does by Faith. Apply yourself definitely to a quiet exercise of Faith. He will be, He is the morning Light. Receive by Faith the gentle beams of His love. Take Him, the Righteous Ruler, to rule over your soul. He will be to you every day as the Light of the morning when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds.
