Rejoice, Rejoice

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; 

those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined.   Isaiah 9:2

Lord, thank you for making safe the way that leads on high.  Remind us that You have closed the path to misery and enable us to rejoice in Your presence.

 

Come in, out of the Rain

And the natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.  Acts 28:2

Thank you, Lord, for those who show kindness in unusual ways.  Please let us bestow extraordinary kindness today towards someone who feels alone and rained upon.

Walk Towards the Light

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

-- I John 1:5

Life can feel like a complicated mess sometimes.  There is no clear path forward.  However, if we face the light and step in that direction, we can have hope. 

Lord, when I feel confused and entangled and the life's path does not seem clear, help me to walk towards the light.  With You as my Light and my Salvation, I have nothing to fear.
