Evening — February 21 — Psalm 97:11

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart. — Psalm 97:11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Notice it's sown — like seed buried in the ground, waiting to spring up. Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. What you sow doesn't come to life unless it dies. You've been born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and though now you're grieved by various trials, the tested genuineness of your faith results in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
