“Sunseeker Lodge” is the place called. What a name for a lodge. The place is not far from where we live and one of these days I must go there to have a look.

Who is not seeking the sun, “the star that is the source of heat and light for the planets in the solar system”(The Collins Concise Dictionary)? Sometimes you have to walk along a road, one side has sunshine, the other has not. I know on which side I want to walk.

THE BIBLE: “For the LORD God is a sun and a shield.” – Psalm 84:11

Recently I found the hymn with the title “Sunshine, Blessed Sunshine” in a hymn book. The hymn is by  Eliza E. Hewitt and it begins like this, “There is a sunshine in my soul today, More glorious and bright, Then glows in any earthly sky, For Jesus is my light.” The words are by Eliza E. Hewitt (1851-1920) and the music is by John R. Sweney (1837-1899). There is also a hymn written by John Keble in 1820. The hymn is called “Sun of My Soul”, and it begins like this, “Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, it is not night if thou be near.”

Both, Eliza E. Hewitt and John Keble must have been great readers of the Bible. They must have read Psalm 84:11 and Malachi 4:2.

In Psalm 84:11 we read, “For the LORD God is a sun and a shield, the LORD bestows favor and honor. And in Malachi 4:2 it says, “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings.

We understand that the Lord Jesus Christ is the “sun of righteousness”.

Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are justified. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are sanctified. That’s how they are brought to see the light.

I don’t need to encourage you to seek the sunshine which comes from the earthly sky. But I would like to encourage you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world.

In Jeremiah 29:13 it says:

“YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.”

THE BIBLE: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:13
