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.
How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, and has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse in falsehood. Psalm 40:4
Dear Lord,
May we keep our eyes fixed on you, not turning to the right or to the left. Convict us when we are proud, and enlighten us when we are misguided. Merciful Father, please pull our gaze back to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
