Light in the Darkness

“You are the light of the world.” Acts 5:14




Now more than ever we have to be the light that Jesus calls us to be. It is an upward call, and for everyone the call is unique. “A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise Your Father in heaven.” 


I thank God for every opportunity I have to testify to His goodness and faithfulness. Tomorrow I will give a talk about our business to employees in HSBC. Even if the talk is about our business, and how it grew, I always emphasize that our business is a gift from God, and He is our partner. My mother who started it in 1967, did not have money and used fabric scraps to make the first things she sold. She did not have a degree in business, and she did not have a strategy. Her capital was praying to God. 


We too have that capital, that wealth, that asset. We need to pray for our families, our homes, our work, our neighborhoods, our cities, our church, our country. Only then can we be light and salt to others. Only then will we have the courage to do what God calls us to do. To be a light in the creeping darkness.
