Devotion 12/8, Shine
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.
Psalm 112:4
We are not promised that we will never go through “dark” times in life. We are assured however, that light will rise in the midst of that darkness. In all the dark times of life the Lord shows Himself to be gracious and full of compassion for His own. Our paths will be illuminated by God, showing us the ways to go!
When we go through times of heartbreak, hardship, and sorrow, we know that God is right there beside us giving us all the strength that we need to persevere and to follow Him, our beacon of Light. He will give us peace, joy, and comfort in our souls as we live this life for Him. He has promised to never leave us or forsake us, and to perfect all that concerns us.
Prayer from Philip Ware:
“Holy and loving God, help me shine your light of holiness and Jesus’ light of hope to those trapped in darkness. O God, please forgive my sinful failures. Please cleanse me and create a pure heart in me. I want to live an upright life as your gracious, compassionate, and righteous child. I don’t want to dim or diminish your light as it shines through me. Help me more perfectly shine your light on those around me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”
