Light the Way


Light the Way:

"For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness." (2 Samuel 22:29)

I stumble and I fall, but I know You're with me through it all. Though I often fail, Your love shall always prevail. My eyes are shrouded by clouds of confusion. O Lord, would You come and clear my vision? Won't You light the way ahead of me? Enlighten the darkness, O Father God, illuminate the path that is before me.

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”" (John 8:12)

This is one of Your promises to me. You promise that the light of life - true life shining forth from Your Holy Spirit - shall light up the way before me and fill the emptiness within me. I needn't walk in dismal darkness.

Because of You, my path can grow brighter and brighter day after day. Your goodness and glory blaze my future trails. Your faithfulness fills those paths with abundance, for You are purely good with no shadow in You whatsoever.

"This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5)

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17)

Your goodness and grace give me courage. Your faithfulness ignites in me a fearlessness unlike any other. It's because I know I'm in Your hands - the very hands that formed the entire universe and everything in it - that I am able to confidently live by faith. I must have faith in Your never ending goodness, faithfulness, mercy, forgiveness, and graciousness. You are good, good good, and You'll never stop being good to me no matter how undeserving I am. You are constant, never changing, and it is written in Your word.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

"For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob." (Malachi 3:6)

Because Your wondrous mercy steadfastly endures throughout all of eternity, we are not consumed or destroyed, as some translations put it. I can hold onto these truths with vigorous hope, as I watch and see Your great glory come to my rescue. Not a single one of Your words shall ever fail.

"God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes His mind. Does He speak and not act, or promise and not fulfil?" (Numbers 23:19)

So this day, O Lord, I call to You from my dismal despair. I'm in dire need of You, and I am certain that even just being in Your Presence for a moment can work a mighty miracle in my soul. I'm longing for Your love light to shine upon me. I am awaiting Your illuminating. Please come and fill me with Your glowing hope and joy.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalms 27:1)

Because Your light leads my way, I shall not be afraid. I am fully submerged in Your loving Presence, therefore fear has to leave, because Your perfect love drives it out. You're the strength of my life, and apart from You I am nothing. Apart from You I am weak and quickly fading. It's only in Your arms that I find the strength to carry on, the joy to face another day, and the hope to believe.

Please light my path this day and every day, O Heavenly Father. I am relying on You completely. I know Your goodness and graciousness shall never fail me. I trust You and I thank You. Thank You for always lighting up the darkness and casting out the shadows.

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
