The path of the just is as the shining light

Daily Light Devotions - August 8 - Morning

The path of the just is as the shining light...

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. 1 

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 2 

Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth." 3 

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. 4 

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. 5 

but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 6 

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 7
