This morning I read a story in Guideposts Magazine (Dec 2013) about the power of prayer. Specifically, it was a story of how God provided light in one home while the surrounding homes remained without power. It got me thinking about light and the way God lights our way in the darkness - and how when we are without God's light, we are truly "without power" no matter how powerful we may appear in terms of the way the world sees things.
And it takes me back to that first day of creation where God created light and separated it from the darkness (Genesis 1:1-5), and I remember that I blogged about it here. As I re-read that blog, I am reminded to be patient with the fact that some days I don't seem to get as much accomplished as other days - despite working hard. I am also reminded of the importance of being JOYFUL!
Father, this morning I once again praise you for your many blessings. As I thank you for the many material blessings, I am reminded of the challenge we face there and ask that your will be done in this situation. And I thank you for a quick and easy resolution if that be your will. I think of the blessings of your guidance and thank you for that. And most of all I thank you for the spiritual blessings - for my daily bread. That you, as Lord of the Universe, would want to take the time to commune with me, fill me with joy and love, and gently guide me is a blessing I can hardly fathom - and I am so grateful! I think how I would feel if a famous expert in the mundane world was willing to take the time to help me - and then I realize how much more famous and expert you are at everything. Thank you for being that light for my path, Father. May your will be done in my life this day as you continue to work in me both to will and to do of your good pleasure. Thank you, Father!
