Trust the Light

Bible in a Year:

• Leviticus 4–5
• Matthew 24:29–51

Believe in the light . . . so that you may become children of light.

John 12:36 The weather forecast said bomb cyclone. That’s what happens when a winter storm rapidly intensifies as the atmospheric pressure drops. By the time night fell, the blizzard conditions made the highway to the Denver airport almost impossible to see. Almost. But when it’s your daughter who’s flying home to visit, you do what you have to do. You pack extra clothes and water (just in case you get stranded on the highway), drive very slowly, pray without ceasing, and last but not least, trust your headlights. And sometimes you can achieve the almost impossible. 

Jesus foretold of a storm on the horizon, one that would involve His death (John 12:31–33), and one that would challenge His followers to stay faithful and serve (v. 26). It was going to get dark and be almost impossible to see. Almost. So what did Jesus tell them to do? Believe, or trust, the Light (v. 36). That was the only way they could keep going forward and stay faithful.

Jesus would only be with them a little while longer. But believers have His Spirit as our constant guide to light the way. We too will face dark times when it’s almost impossible to see the way ahead. Almost. But by believing, or trusting in the Light, we can press on.

Reflect & Pray

What dark season have you been through lately? How did Jesus, the Light, help you keep going?

Jesus, thank You for being the light in my darkness. Help me to trust and keep going.

[The Mayor]

Here you are! 😎

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...is the big storm getting you and Penny?

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you manage to squeeze in a little “you” time this weekend - - maybe kick back and do a little reading?
Too bad it was so cold because it turned out to be a pretty day.

I hope Dot was able to make it out to Spotters Hill at the airport this afternoon to see not one but TWO Dreamlifters take off an hour apart. There were a few folks out there to see the sight. It’s the first time I’ve seen two in one day since I’ve been enjoying the cam.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

How was your day? A little more stamina to make it through both services without being wiped out?

[luvie]

Hey, there!

Yes, I could tell the difference from last week to this week. Still get huffy-puffy, but not as quickly. No one ever told me how long it takes to get over pneumonia!

Hope your day went well. Did you get any more snow or is that history now?
