Spiritual Light – Day 47: Light the World, Build the Kingdom (Year 2)

“Spiritual light rarely comes to those who merely sit in darkness waiting for someone to flip a switch.” – Dieter F Uchtdorf

What are you doing today to move your feet in the direction of the light? Tuning into inspiration is sort of like finding an analog radio station in the desert. It is something we have to work at. The clearer our own channels, the clearer the inspiration.

Some ways you can flip the light switch in your life include

  1. Random acts of kindness – follow little nudges you feel to reach out and serve others. The more you act swiftly upon inspiration, the more inspiration you receive.
  2. Study scriptures – the Word of God teaches you the language of the Spirit. The more you exposure yourself to the language of the Spirit, the more you will recognize the still small voice in your life.
  3. Live in harmony with God’s laws. Some people think God’s commandments are old fashioned and controlling. In fact, God’s commandments are a guide to living a happy life – a recipe for happiness. As we live in harmony with God’s commandments, we put ourselves on a channel to receive more and more revelation, inspiration and illumination.
  4. Ask – ask for illumination. Ask to be able to see your life through God’s eyes. A world of opportunities and insights await.

As Neal A. Maxwell once said, “To those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, it is clear that the Father and the Son are giving away the secrets of the universe.”

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day, “What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
