VERSE FOR TODAY: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke: 1:79).
HYMN FOR TODAY: "O Holy Night
What a difference the light makes! I remember as a child waking in the middle of the night, terrified by objects in my room. One night I was convinced an immense bear sat hunched on a chair be to me. I was so frightened I didn"t dare creep past it to go for help. All night long I stared at it, scarcely breathing, expecting it to lunge at me. Finally, finally, the night ended. In the morning as light seeped in,the ferocious bear turned into a heavy wool blanket. Crumple up.
As we approach the day when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, how thankful we are for the way Christmas light up the darkest days of winter.We who sat indarkness, afraid to move, given the Light our minds are lit up with the truth of His Word. The paths we should take are made clear by His Word. And all the things we once feared slowly disappear in the light of His presence and His promises.
What a great Lord we have! What a great time this is the Celebration of His birth! How grateful we are that the Christmas season and it's light bring warmed and light during this holiday season, but more importantly, Jesus, is indeed the Light of the world!
PRAYER THOUGHT: Heavenly Father, we are grateful for the birth of Your Son, Jesus. For in Him, we find love, peace, and joy that can only come because of Your Love. Each day we pray we may see You more clearly by the light You have given us. In His name, we pray. Amen.
