James 4:8-10 (ESV Strong's)
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
The light of the world reveals the nakedness of man. We may attempt to cover our shame and hide from the presence of the Lord as did Adam and Eve, but nothing will remain hidden.
The Lord offers to clothe us with the righteousness of Christ. Our mourning will turn to joy in the brilliance of the morning star whose light we share. Let us humble ourselves as the children of the light we’ve become in His presence.
