Light of the World

"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." Isaiah 9:2

The world we live in is full of darkness: sin and those who live their life separated from God. When its dark its easy to feel scared and hopeless. In darkness we stumble around and do things our own way. This is not the way God intended and therefore sent light to the world. The light He sent was JESUS!

Jesus came into this world to deliver us from darkness. It is what Christmas is all about. Jesus and Him being the light of the world. The idea that Jesus is the light of the world is meant to be more than something that is just said or that we hear at church. It is something that should affect us, that should change us. God gave Jesus to be the light of this world so that we can be a light to this world. Jesus light should now shine through each of us, does He? Are you a light in the dark world, I hope so. I pray this Christmas the world sees the light of Jesus in you and that you have a very Merry Christmas!

Once Upon A Time...

Persistency! Often this is something we lack, which Jesus knew as well. Therefore He left us with this parable to encourage us to be persistent and to not give up. In Luke chapter 18:1-8 He tells the parable of the "Persistent Widow". His point was that if even a corrupt judge could eventually be persuaded by the persistence of a widow, someone without standing or influence in their day, how much more likely would the Lord be to respond to the persistent prayers of His followers?

1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing. What does that mean? It means that our prayer life should come as naturally to us as breathing does. We must persist and continue to seek Him in all things we do.

“Ask and it will be given to you;” He said, “Seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" (Matt; 7:7-11)

God will provide for our every NEED we just must continue to go to Him and ask. So do not lose heart, keep pursuing, in His perfect timing God is going to show up and off more than you could ever imagine!
