Devotion 11/27, Run to the Father
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:34
All of our longings and needs were meant to be met in God. And yet, we live in a world constantly vying to meet our needs and desires in false, inadequate ways.
We live in a world filled with darkness of all forms. On any given day we are inundated with temptation after temptation, lie after lie, darkness after darkness. But in the person of Jesus a powerful hope has entered into the story of humanity. Matthew 4:16 says, “The people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.” You and I now have the choice to fill our lives with the light of God. We’re delivered from a life marked by darkness and set free to fill ourselves with the things of God.
Lord, we come to you with our temptations, needs, and desires and ask You to lead us to satisfaction. Please open our hearts to You today that we might receive a wealth of love, purpose, joy, affection, and enjoyment from the only true source of life in this earth. We give a praise and glory to you Lord. Thank you for your many blessings, mercies, abundant love and grace. Amen.
