You Are Not Inferior – Shilpa Dhinakaran

“Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.” (Matthew 13:40)
Dear friend, God’s promise for the day is from Matthew 13:40, “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.” The Lord tells you today that because when you are righteous you are going to shine as bright as the sun. I read an article about the size of the sun compared to the stars in the galaxy.
The article said how the sun is such a small star yet it gives out such bright lights. In the same way you might be feeling so small that you feel you don’t have even a place in this world. You may be saying nobody is respecting you in your family or workplace or even your friends don’t respect you. You might be saying, “I have been so faithful, so truthful and so righteous in everything I did but the Lord hasn’t’ rewarded me.”
But the Lord knows each and everything you do and the Lord says, “You are going to shine as bright as the sun.” The Bible says in Psalm 112:6, “Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.” Even though you might be feeling small as the sun today, the Lord says you will be remembered forever. The Lord is going to shower His blessings upon you today. He is going to reward you for being righteous.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Bless me as You have promised me today. Thank You for Your righteousness that You have given me. Thank You for being there for me and calling me Your righteous child. I give all glory to You. Let me never be shaken just as You have said. May Your name be glorified through me.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
