Respite For the Weary
Friday
Picture: House (living with lights on!)
Scripture: Psalm 36:8-9; Psalm 40:8-10; Matthew 5:14-16; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Envision a house on a hilltop at night with all the lights on and many people visiting inside. Much like this picture, our faith in God is not only a strong refuge for us, but it is also a place for others to draw near so they can experience the light and love of Christ in the things we say and do.
What are reasons that might keep you from shining your light for Him (ex. busyness, fear, discomfort…)?
Who are some people in your daily life in which you want to shine your light for the Lord? Name them and write practical ways in which you can do so.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. Romans 3:10-11
Dear Lord,
The bad news is: we are a mess. We're stubborn, selfish and full of pride. We choose to go our own way. The good news is: you came to save us. You are altogether pure and holy. You came to seek and to save the lost. Please draw us into your inexplicable mercy, Lord Jesus! In your Name, Amen.
