SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Wednesday, December 17, 2025

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Philippians 2:12-15

Paul reminds us that Shining doesn’t happen by accident—it grows through intentional faith lived out daily. The Hidden Manna here is that God is at work within you, even as you work through your life. Shine means letting your faith show up in how you choose, respond, and treat others, especially when no one is watching. When you resist complaining and stay rooted in humility, your life becomes a quiet testimony in a noisy world. God’s light in you doesn’t flicker under pressure; it becomes clearer. Today, don’t wait for perfection before you shine. Keep showing up faithfully, trusting that God is shaping your light into something the world desperately needs.
