Psalm 97:11 Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. (NIV)
I have always been fascinated with the different wording and the subtle shift in meaning that occurs between different translations of a verse. And Psalm 97:11 really jumped out at me today.
Psalm 97:11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. (NASB)
The idea of sowing God’s light really captivated me. Maybe it is because it’s spring, the growing season, this image of physically sowing God’s light, tending it, watching it bloom and grow for others to enjoy intrigues me so.
Psalm 97:11 Light dawns for the righteous, gladness for the upright in heart. (CSB)
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for sowing Your light in my heart and my life. Help me to sow Your love and joy in the lives of all those I come in contact with today. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 97:11 If you obey and do right, a light will show you the way and fill you with happiness. (CEV)
Have a blessed day.
