Shalom,

We read 2 Corinthians 4 in today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and these verses are expecially powerful to me! 

6 For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.

Remember that Jesus said this in John 8:12:

12 Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.

Here is 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 we see that HE has put HIS LIGHT in US! Why? Because when people can see HIS light IN US, they realize that HE is IN us and it is not a human light, but HIS GLORY! When the shadow of Peter touched people they were healed (Acts 5:15)! It was NOT PETER who healed them, but the GLORY OF THE LORD Who lived IN Peter! Spend time in the presence of the LORD and HE will shine through YOU! What a blessing it is to be alive for such a time as this! Here is Hillsong with "See The Light":

Shalom in Him!
