I read an article yesterday in which various people described what they feel certain behaviors tell them about people. For instance, how someone treats service personnel, especially when something goes wrong, tells us about the character of the person. We all tend to exhibit good character when things are going well. But sometimes, we reveal a darker side when things are not going so well.
Daniel 12:3 says, “And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” Living life like God has designed for us to live, according to His might, is the way to shine His light. Abiding in the power of the Holy Spirit will enable us to exhibit godly character, even when things are going against us. The light of godly character will shine brightly forever. Leading other people to turn to God from self-centeredness extends His light even further.
