Lights on
He’ll turn on the lights and show me his ways. ~ Micah 7:9 (MSG)
After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them. At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared. ~ Luke 24:30-31 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
At some point God's plan becomes clear.
PRAYER:
Lord God, thank you for revealing yourself through Christ Jesus. You don't leave us in the dark. Most importantly you show us your love and grace. Help me to be patient with those who have not yet seen. Amen.
