Lord, Give Me Light

2020-08-07 Devotional with Hymn No comments

[Jesus] said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.” (John 8:12, NIV)

Lord, give me light from Your side of reality today.
Don’t leave me here in the darkness of
my own little plans and
preoccupations.

Talk to me about what You see as important.
Lead me into what You want me to do.
Teach my heart to feel
what You feel
where You’re sitting.

Lord, give me light from Your side of reality today.
Don’t leave me here in the darkness of
my own little plans and preoccupations.

I don’t want this to be an empty day,
a self-centered day.
As I pause, Lord, draw me closer.
Teach me about You.
Use me as would please You, Lord.
I love You.

Father, help me not to limit reality to
my own puny understanding.
I am so small.
There is so much I can realize
only by trusting You.
Only by trusting You can I begin to
know You and
understand Your Word and
grasp all You can do.

An Adventure in Christ

2016-01-19 Devotional with Hymn No comments

What is your attitude toward the future?
Are you fearful about what might happen?
Remember that God is with you and
is leading You.
Everything that comes to you, comes through Him.

Are you complacent?
Coasting?
Distracted from what is most important?
Realize that right now God is growing you toward Himself.
He is the eternal destiny toward which you are moving.
He is what is most important in life, now and forever.

Look at your life as an adventure in Him.
When we call something an “adventure,” we mean that it has
stresses, demands, dangers, and unknowns,
but it also has excitement and discovery of wonderful new things.
In our stories, adventures always end well.
Think of your life as an adventure in Christ.

Listen to this paraphrase of Philippians 3:12-14.
Make it your prayer:

“I have not yet obtained all God has for me.
I am certainly not perfect.
But I am pressing ahead to take hold of His full purpose for me.
Right now I forget what is behind me and
reach eagerly toward what is ahead.
I am determined to obtain all God has for me in Christ Jesus.”
