The sun shines on
both the Righteous and the ungodly people. As True Believers we are not just
only to Pray about ungodliness but also we are called to take compassionate
action. I thank God for all the news I hear in different parts of the World of
compassionate action being taken. When I read about the sun in the Bible I
think of Jesus as the Sun of Righteousness, manifested in the Prophecy of
Malachi, Who has Healing in His Wings.
