Light!
"You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that
is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a
light under a bowl. No. People put the light on a lamp table.
Then the light shines for all the people in the house. In the
same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so
that people will see the good things you do. Live so that
people will praise your Father in heaven."
-- Matthew 5:14-16 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
One of the great things about camping out in the country is that you
can get away from the city lights and really see the stars. When you
are away from the city, a full moon is bright enough to find your way
around in the night. The sky is full of light from the stars. In a
world of darkness, we are those who have come from darkness into light
and we are to reflect the light we have found in Jesus. But Jesus'
point is that we are not just to shine our lights in our own little
circle of influence, but we are to shine them so that every place of
darkness is either brought to the light or is exposed for what it is.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Help me, O God, to be a light to those near and far. Lead me into ways
of service that will bless people in the name of Jesus. I am concerned,
LORD God, about several folks that I know personally and that need to
become Christians. Help me to be your light of joy and salvation that
will help them come to know you as their Heavenly Father. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
