JANUARY 5, 2020
“On the first day, God said, ‘Let there be light’
God saw the light was good
And God separated the light from the darkness
God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness ‘night’
And there was evening and morning”
I am grateful for today’s morning light
For I live in a valley of darkness
A world of influences: radio, TV, Internet
newspapers, magazines, even hateful speech
A world at war: good vs evil, light vs darkness
You never meant me to live in the dark
Help me climb high out of my daily business
Out of the valley of evil
High above the “sins” of the world
Place me on your mountain top with spiritual eyes
Eyes that see that see Your Glory
The true color of sin and Your plan of mercy
The face of my Savior, Jesus Christ
To live in the spiritual light of the Holy Spirit
To see my divine purpose and a final victory
May I dwell in prayer and service
Guided by Your Words in Scripture
Guarded against anything in the darkness that would harm me
In the spiritual light that is good and wise
Full of joy and holiness
Help me prepare for the days ahead
Set them apart from the darkness of the world
I commit each day and each moment into your hands
To ensure my days live in the light of your Spirit
That I may fulfill your purpose and share your Kingdom
