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.
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. Isaiah 43:1
Dear Lord,
When we turn to you with a repentant heart, you promise to redeem every lawless deed (Titus 2:14)! No sin is too great to be covered by your mercy, and no mess is too hopeless to be restored with your grace. Thank you for loving us in spite of us. You delightfully call us your own. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
