LIGHT
MICAH 7:9 (CEB)
He will bring me out into the light;
I will see by means of his righteousness.
ACTS 9:17 (CEB)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Wait patiently for the Lord to show you what he's doing.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for turning on the light when we most need to see. I admit that I get discouraged by the darkness around me and even in my own life. I'm in need of your light right now. I need to see what's really happening so that I can step forward with confidence that you are remaking the world into a righteous realm. I'm going to wait patiently for the light. Amen.
