VERSE FOR TODAY: Arise, shine: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee (Isaiah 60:1,2).
HYMN FOR TODAY: "The Light of the World Is Jesus"
"Come now. He doesn't have much time left." Don received the call just as he was preparing to retire for the night. His father had been rushed to the hospital following a heart. Quickly, Don dressed and headed out. On the five-hour drive, he thought about is dad. Don's spirit was as gloomy as the night. "I wish I'd been a better son, visited more often and called regularly. Now I probably won't get the chance to tell Dad I love him." As the blackness surrounded him, Don brooded, "I don't think I'ver seen a darker night." When he entered his dad's room, the nurse encouraged, "Within the last haft hour, he's stabilized." Don breathed a prayer of thankingiving. Then he recalled seeing a ray of light on the horizon As he pulled into the parking lot.
It's been said that it's darkest before the dawn. When the shadow of disappointment, loss, worry, or bitterness obscures the joy of our existence, we need only to turn to the Light. God who is light, gave His Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the World. In Him we find life. Turn Him on to brighten the darkest night and bring light to the Darkiest problem.
PRAYERTHOUGHTS: Dear Lord, thank you that You sent Jesus To be the Light of the World. When life's dark, turn out eyes to Him, for He'll bring the sunshine back to our heart. Amen.
