The Sun Is Shining

God is good all the time and all the time God is Good!  We must look out of a clean window or step outside to see the literal sun shining.  The remainder of the time, the “Sun is Shining” is a mindset.  The weather may be storming outside, however in our hearts and minds, we are experiencing sunshine!  We can experience sunshine when we are living joyful, peaceful, productive lives. 

We can experience sunshine when we get up each morning and put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10 - 18).  When we clothe ourselves with the armor of God, it protects us against all the wiles of the devil.  As we put on our armor, we will experience sunshine.  Our shield of faith protects us as we experience sunshine.  The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God that is sharper than a two-edged sword.  When we hide the Scriptures in our hearts, we will not sin against God and experience sunshine.

Sunshine is warm, calm, beautiful, bright and makes us smile.  Isn’t it wonderful that we can have a “sun shining spirit” all the time.  Ever been around anyone who is always happy?  That’s what a “sunshine” mentality does for us!  Put on the characteristics of sunshine each day!  Watch how others encounter you when the sun is shining in your life all the time!

Don’t forget, the “Sun is Shining” is a mindset!  Decide that you want a “sun shining spirit” and begin to develop it.  You can do it.  Some people encourage us to make lemonade when the world sends us lemons.  Well, that’s good, however think about the beauty of sunrise, the joy of a noon day sun, and the amazing ambiance of a magnificent sunset!  It is all good!

 Make your day a “Sun is Shining Day!”
