My Journey 7/6/2010

God's insight to me:

As I was reading my devotionals for today this one from Adrian Rogers really touched my heart. For the past several days, yes several days, we have been blessed with sun filled mornings and afternoons. Sometimes living near Buffalo, New York we don't get a lot of them. Adrian Roger's devotional spoke about light, but a more wonderful one than we are blessed in our cloudless days. God's Light! The awesome wonder of the Son's Light! Even as the sunshine lifts our spirits, sometime short lived though, the Light of Christ's countenance is everlasting. May this poem that the Lord blessed me with today and Adrian Roger's devotional be the "Light" to guide you each and everyday.

The Son’s Light

Don’t walk in darkness,
when His light is always there.
Let Jesus brighten your day,
and take away your despair.

Don’t let the worries of today,
keep dark clouds all around.
Step out into the Son’s light,
and see all His beauty to be found.

Don’t listen to the worldly lies,
that bombard us everyday.
Let the Father, Spirit and the Son’s light,
shine through you today.

Do trust in the Heavenly Father,
as you go throughout your day.
Believe in His Word and be blessed,
and let His Son, light your way.

The Light of God's Countenance

"Lord, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us." Psalm 4:6

How easy it is to be deceived when we are not walking in the light of God's Word.

Charles Lindbergh tells about the time he was flying in a dense fog over Newfoundland. He noticed moisture beginning to freeze on the wings of his plane and thought, "This great adventure is going to come to an untimely end. What shall I do?"

Then he had a moment of inspiration. He pulled his plane up and out of the fog and burst into the dazzling sunlight.

Have you ever felt like you were living in a fog? Friend, He has a word of encouragement for you. You can get near to the heart of God today. His light can shine even in the darkest corner of your heart.

· Ask God to shine His light into the darkness of your heart.

· Ask Him to reveal your doubts and fears.

· Ask Him to reveal your sin that lies covetously in your heart.

Then get ready for a blessing. Draw up close, because when you repent, He'll reach in with healing forgiveness.
