Today I pray-read over this verse:

“And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon that they should shine in it, for the glory of God illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.” — Revelation 21:23, RcV

I was really worried and stressed about what I should do about a certain situation, but all the ‘light’ of good ideas I had about it were actually just darkness. The more I prayed and mused over the ‘glory of God illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb’ I was inwardly illuminated that only light I need is the glory of God, made accessible to me in the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Its lamp IS the Lamb! It reminded me of 2 Corinthians 4:6, “…the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 

I don’t need good ideas or pros and cons; I don’t need the ‘light of a lamp and of the light of the sun’ (Revelation 22:5). I just need the shining of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ!!!
