Let Your Light Shine
This month is marked by many of you young people returning to school, starting a new job, or returning to the old routine of life after summer vacation. Many of you will meet new fellow-students and coworkers and find yourselves in new surroundings. Don’t forget to let your light shine for the Lord right away. We are exhorted “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven” (Matthew 5:16). “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).
Letting your light shine right away will preserve you from many embarrassing situations and will keep you from being invited or enticed to take part in things that would not be pleasing to the Lord.
Not only so, but who knows what a blessing your Christian testimony may be? The Lord can use it for the salvation of someone who you study or work with. You may even find that there are other believers who need encouragement and who you can have fellowship with.
