“NOT A STAR!”
2 Peter 1:19
“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, in which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”
Back in my childhood days, the radio program Superman was introduced with the dramatic declaration, “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No! It’s Superman!"
The words star and satellite are often used as synonyms. They are not the same. I just observed the International Space Station glide silently across the sky. It appeared as the brightest star in the early morning darkness, but I knew it was a satellite.
The difference between a star and satellite is that the star produces its own light while a satellite merely reflects the light from a star. Many people try to be the star of their own life. They will always fail since God alone is the Light!
The next time you feel a little self important, just remember that you are not, nor will you ever be, a star. God calls us to be spiritual satellites to reflect His glory to a dark world.
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
