Good Morning Everyone

 

Have you ever had the electrical power go out

in your area?  It is not only inconvenient, it can

cause some serious issues.  Such as heating, or

cooling in adverse weather.  But the light, that

is what we miss the most.  When darkness starts

to come, that light is something we really want

in our home and around it.

 

Have you used a flashlight on such occasions?

You see how it spreads light out before you to a

certain distance so you can see to walk where you

are going?

 

This is what God's word does for us.  It brings light

into our situtation.  It lights the path, and makes our

way clearer to go. What a gift!

 

A Christian should be drawn towards light everyday.

We shouldn't want to walk in the despair of night,

or the darkness of the soul.  WE should be drawn

to the light so we have peace.  So we find our way.

So we can be a light to others.

 

What if no one was a light in this world?  What if

Christians were suddenly taken out?  What kind of

light would be left?

 

So while you are here on this earth, fill yourself with

the light of Christ, and let it shine upon all men so they

may see your good works and glorify your Father who is

in heaven.

 

The word of God says we are called from

darkness into light.

 

Think about this... you can not be in both.

When you are in the light.. there is no darkness

and when you are in the darkness there is no light.

 

We either walk with God and let his light shine through us.

Or we trudge along without him, with no light, and seemingly

no hope.

 

We really do make a choice everyday whether to walk

in His light (word, prayer, strength, hope) or to reject it

and try to make it on our own.

 

We go about our duties, our habits, with our friends, and

falter along the way, blindly because we cannot see two

minutes ahead, much less a day or two.  But God can.

 

He has the light.

 

Do you?

For you were once in darkness, but now you are the

light in the Lord.  Walk as children of light.

Ephesians 5:8

 

And this is the condemnation that the light has come into

the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,

because their deeds were evil.

For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not

come into the light lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he who does the TRUTH comes into the light that his

deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.

John 3:19-21

 

 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed which you do well to heed as a

LIGHT that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning

star rises in your heart.

2 Peter 1:19

 

Father God, make me a light to those that come around me.

Help me to change my mindset from my self, to my duty to

others and the kingdom of God.  Help me to stop worrying

and start living.  Help me to be kind to those in need, rather

than avoid them.  Help me to be constantly in prayer,

focused on your word, so that I might not sin against you.

And give me joy, that my christianity will not be a burden

to others, but a light.  Help me not to nag or pressure,

but teach the word in love to those around me that

they will be drawn to your light, through me.

 

In Jesus precious name,

amen

In the Alps in Switzerland nestles an obscure village, with a

castle and a church of rough, hewn stone, reached by worn

steps up the mountainside.  The peculiar thing about this

church is that it has no lighting system nor has ever had one.

 

    A traveler there heard a church bell ringing and saw folks

coming out of the narrow streets, each bearing a quaint little

bronze lamp filled with oil and having a wick.  She approached

a worshiper and said, "Please, I am a stranger here, will you tell

me why you carry a lamp to church?"

 

     The woman replied, "Why, yes, I would be happy to.  Years

ago a duke lived in that castle.  He built the church, endowed it

and asked that each worshiper bring his own lamp."  The

traveler replied, " I should think that would keep folks from

attending the evening services."

 

     "Oh, no, it works just the other way.  It is called the Church of

Lighted Lamps.  Everybody that goes makes it a little brighter

and when anybody is tempted to stay at home or go

somewhere else, he just remembers the dear old church needs

everybody's lamp, and if your lamp isn't there, there is so much

less light."

When you reach the end of your rope
you will find the hem of His garment.

I have often felt that many things that bring us to our knees,
teach us while we are down there to learn to pray.

These possibilities are open to everyone. 
Don't tell God you are not good enough, do what He asks.
Don't tell God to send someone else, He asked you.
Don't tell God you don't have time to pray, He said seek me first.
Don't neglect the things of God.  He said we are to
pick up His cross daily and follow Him. 
Don't tell God anything is bigger than His ability.
God is the Great I Am, I am whatever you need.

There is no pit so deep, God's love is not deeper still.

Not my will but thine oh Lord.
