Time to Shine

By Rachel Maiorano

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

Dream: February 19, 2026

I saw a giant hourglass. Inside the upper chamber was a whale breaching. In the lower chamber was a small fishing boat. Then the Lord reached down and flipped the hourglass.

The scene changed.

I saw a lighthouse standing in the middle of a violent storm. Its walls were crumbling, and its windows had been blown out. Because of the damage, the light could no longer remain lit.

Then the Lord shouted:

“Repair the house!”

The dream zoomed out, and I saw a small fishing vessel struggling to make its way through the storm.

Then the Lord spoke again:

“Time to shine.”

This dream is a call to God’s people. The hourglass declares that the times and seasons belong to the Lord. The turning of the hourglass signals a transition—a divine shift in His timing. The lighthouse represents His house and His people, who were never meant merely to survive the storm but to shine in the midst of it. Yet before the light can shine brightly again, the house must be repaired. A lighthouse fulfills its purpose only when its foundation is secure, its walls are strong, its windows are clear, and its light is burning. The storm was not the greatest danger. The greater danger was a damaged house unable to carry the light.

The fishing boat reminds us of Christ’s call to His disciples: to follow Him and become fishers of men. Though the seas are violent, the assignment has not changed. The light must remain visible so those caught in the storm can find their way home.

The Lord’s message is both an invitation and a commission:

Repair the house.

Time to shine.
