Filled With Light!

 

 

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.”

 

—Matthew 6:22 (NLT)

 

 

 

 

 

Sovereign God,

 

Help me remember that a healthy eye is one that has fixed its gaze upon You. So let my eyes see You, all around me, in each moment of every day and night.

 

Fill me with the Light of Life—as You reveal Yourself to me and cause the lamps of my eyes to flood my whole body with the Light that gives Life to my soul.

 

Fill me with the Light of Truth that I find in You—and help me walk in that Truth, unmoved by my circumstances, wholly devoted to Your Word, Your Will, and Your Way.

 

Fill me with the Light of Love—and help me to accept and receive the fullness of the Love of Christ, so that I can’t help but release that same Love to every person that You put before me.

 

Help me remember that a healthy eye is one that has fixed its gaze upon You. So let my eyes see You, all around me, in each moment of every day and night.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

You Saw Me!

 

 

You saw me before I was born.

    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

    before a single day had passed.

 

—Psalm 139:16 (NLT)

 

 

 

Omniscient and Sovereign LORD GOD,

 

You are the One who knows the end—even from before the beginning—the One who holds every moment of my life in His hands!

 

You saw me—before I came to be, You saw me! You saw every detail of every aspect of who You created me to be, and You saw exactly how I fit into Your perfect plan for all of mankind.

 

You knew me—You knew how every moment of every day of my life would go—and even recorded it all in Your book, to establish it, before a single day had come to pass.

 

Thank You that I can rest in the assurance that Your plans never fail to accomplish all that You intend for them to accomplish—and that You have invited me to live fully the life story You wrote especially for me, in Christ.

 

You are the One who knows the end—even from before the beginning—the One who holds every moment of my life in His hands!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Rejoice and Be Glad!

 

 

This is the day the LORD has made.

    We will rejoice and be glad in it.

 

—Psalm 118:24 (NLT)

 

 

One and Only Creator God,

 

You, O LORD, have made this day!  So, I choose to rejoice and be glad in it!

 

Before You created everything there is—before You placed it all in order and set it all in motion—You knew this day would come, You knew the good plans You had for me today!

 

Today, I get to choose whether to embrace Your plans with joy and gladness, or to resist Your plans—as if to think that I would know better than You what is best for me—and only reap a harvest of trouble and hardship for my efforts.

 

So, help me open my eyes to all that You have done for me, to rejoice, and gladly and obediently submit my will to Your sovereign plans for me.  Help me to see that You have called me and saved me for such a time as this. 

 

Grant me the faith to believe that You have already arranged to supply me with everything that I need to accomplish Your will for me today and that, in doing so, You have made it possible for me to live this day with deep peace and enduring joy!

 

You, O LORD, have made this day!  So, I choose to rejoice and be glad in it!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
