New King James Version:
Arise, shine;For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
New American Standard Bible
"Arise, shine; for your light has come,And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. "For behold, darkness will cover the earthAnd deep darkness the peoples;But the LORD will rise upon youAnd His glory will appear upon you.
Amplified Bible
ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.
The Message
"Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness,But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you."

I encourage you, this year, 2010, to ARISE & SHINE! Don't "hide your light"! The Amplified version says to arise from the "depression & prostration in which circumstances have kept you in" & to "Shine & be radiant with the glory of the Lord". So, what is it this past season (year) that has been holding you back, maybe even paralyzing you from going forward & doing all that God has created you for? Shake it off...arise & shine!!! God has created each one of us as unique individuals & TOGETHER we make up the Body of Christ. So seek God & His willl & purposes for you in this new season & allow Him to come upon you in a new way & His glory (as The Message beautifully says, His SUNRISE <> glory breaks over you), & SHINE! This is not only for you....but for all those you will come in contact with.....friends, family, co-workers, loved ones & strangers. It's a new day....a new year.....it's time to RISE UP & be transparent enough (not holding back or hiding) that His Light then SHINES THROUGH YOU to all those around you.
The decision is yours.....now whatcha gonna do about it?
Go GOD & Go GOD in YOU!!!!
God's love & mine,
