The Dawn, The Moon, and The Sun

The Dawn, The Moon, and The Sun…

The Song of Solomon speaks of the bride as the moon but finishes by speaking of her as the sun. The final picture and mystery of the bride goes from moonlight to sunshine.

The moon and the sun are two different kinds of light. The moon is a light that shines conditionally. There has to be nothing blocking its face, nothing hiding it from the sun. The sun shines regardless of where it’s facing, or anything blocking it, because its nature is to shine.

We are the bride and we are still in the moon phase. We’re rejoicing, but our joy is conditional. The real victory comes when you move from the moon stage to the sun stage. It’s when your joy moves from being conditional to becoming unconditional.

You praise not just when things are good, but when things look terrible – at all times. You shine not just because things are shining around you, you shine because you are a light.

That’s what a light does – it shines. You’re the bride, and the bride begins as fair as the moon but ends as bright as the sun.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.  Daniel 12:3

Commit to being the light of Jesus today and shine like the sun!

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
