Some of the most dramatic miracles in the entire Bible occurred at the hand of Elijah, the Tishbite. Clearly a single man who seemed to only live to please the Lord, he was a thorn in the side of the wicked Ahab and his insidious wife, Jezebel.

As New Testament Christians, we are called to be salt and light. Our sinful society desperately needs the flavor we bring. So often we are timid in letting the light of God’s influence shine on the circumstances about us. Although unpopular at times, our position on issues of right and wrong are essential factors in maintaining godliness in our surroundings.

Shine, Jesus, shine.

PRAYER: Lord, let Your Spirit and Your Word within us have an impact on everyone we come in contact with. We want to be an effective witness.
