When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,"I am
the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
--John
8:12
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Darkness
is more than a symbol, it is a pervasive way of living and viewing the
world. Darkness is the place of
deception, evil, crime, predators, sin, and death. To follow Jesus means to bring him our heart
and let him cast everything from the darkness that plagues us on the inside so
we don't have to be afraid of the darkness on the outside. In this way, Jesus gives us light, but it is
a light that does more than fill a dark room. This is a light that illumines
the heart.
MY PRAYER
Holy
God who lives in glorious and irrepressible light, I praise you for sending
Jesus to cast away the dark fears that so easily envelope me. I pray for
strength and courage to not only live in the light, but show others their way
to the light. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Pray For Qarah Each Day
Then he said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please
give me success [qarah] this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.”
Genesis 24:12
Would
you like to know how you can pray for and experience God’s divine positioning
for good success?
In
Genesis 24, we read about how Abraham sent his servant to look for a bride for
Isaac, his son. The servant arrived at a well outside the city of Nahor in the
evening and decided to stop there. There were so many young women gathered to
draw water there that he did not know who would be the right woman for Isaac.
So he prayed this prayer: “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please give me
success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.”
The
word “success” here is the Hebrew word qarah. And with the Lord’s qarah or
positioning for right happenings, the servant found a beautiful, virtuous woman
named Rebekah, who became Isaac’s bride.
Beloved,
we need the Lord to give us qarah every day. So I encourage you to pray the
prayer of that servant every day. Tell the Lord, “I’m looking to You, Lord
Jesus, to give me success—qarah—this day,” and depend on His unmerited favor to
cause you to be at the right place at the right time. He will cause your paths
to cross with that of the right people who will be a blessing to you and to
whom you can be a blessing!
