Being a Light on Easter

In Matthew 28, when an angel appeared to women at Jesus’ empty tomb, “his appearance was like lightning.” And yet, his attitude was very relaxed as he moved away the tombstone and plainly told the women about Jesus’ resurrection. We, also, can be relaxed when we simply let God guide us to work and speak. And when we shine God’s love like that, it’ll be so surprising in our world today, that it’ll strike people’s hearts like lightning.

Use the prayer song below as encouragement. Play it as a new day is dawning, and pray that God will change you – filling you with holy strength, love, and hope.

“The Day Is Dawning” by Jill Phillips

Give me a chance; I want to change my ways,
‘Cause I can't live here and look the same.
Let me look up, let me look to your face,
And set me in my place, oh Lord, set me in my place.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising
I pray my strength won't fail, I pray my strength won't fail. (x 2)
 
My strength won’t fail. My strength won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising,
I pray my strength won't fail, my strength.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my love won't fail, I pray my love won't fail. (x 2)
 
My love won’t fail. My love won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my love won't fail, my love.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my hope won't fail, I pray my hope won't fail. (x 2)
 
My hope won’t fail. My hope won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my hope won't fail, my hope.
 
Give me a chance; I want to change my ways,
‘Cause I can't live here and look the same.
