Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Isaiah 51:11 “Those ransomed by the Lord will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
The devotion is titled Let there Be Light by John Michalak. To sum up this devotion, John Michalak talked about a time when Isaiah spoked to God’s people who were exiled from their homeland and from God’s protection and light. John Michalak states that we give too much credit to the “darkness”. In the “darkness” we struggle with earthly things. We can’t let “darkness” overcome our hearts and minds. It is not more powerful than the God of all light and love. No matter how dark our world gets, the Light of God will continue to shine if we let it in, and all sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: What are some ways we can help to shine God’s light into this dark world?
Here is my response, yours may be different: I do this by spreading The Gospel through my blogs and social media..
My Personal Prayer for us: Dear God, please cover over the dark, dingy parts of our lives with Your shining glory. Thank you for the gift of Jesus, who died for our sins and set us free forever. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
