PSALM 27:1 (NLT)
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
JOHN 8:12 (MSG)
Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You won't have to stumble around in the dark if you're following Jesus.
PRAYER
Jesus, light of the world, thank you for leading. Although, I too often tug away and hide in a dark corner. Cancel out that darkness so I can see how futile it is to function in anything but light. I'm going to live today in your light. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
