I decided to do something a little different than normal so instead of writing about a subject that’s on my mind and I’ve been reflecting on for the past couple of days, this evening, I was lead to just open the Bible and select the first scripture my eyes focused on. The scripture my eyes fell on reads;

Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1 NAS

I see this more as a personal message for me. But to fully understand this particular scripture and how it may hold a message intended for me I decided to compare this scripture to my Amplied Bible. And this is the interpretation, which reads;

Arise [from Spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brillance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brillance of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1 AMP

When I read the Amplified Bible’s version of this scripture it really jumped out at me. And I knew the Holy Spirit was definitely sending me a message I needed to hear. Because today I took care of some household chores, watched a movie while playing an online game on my phone but once the movie ended I felt….bored…..listless. Guess I didn’t realize at the time but I was battling spiritual warfare, however, the Holy Spirit knew. It’s like He said,

“I gave you time to take care of your household chores, now, it’s time to get up and focus on the Lord.”

While I had no clue I was battling spiritual warfare, the Holy Spirit did so He sent this message in a way which I have never experienced before and one which I would understand.
