"I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer)
Day 141 - (Today’s Bible readings: Proverbs 30; Psalm 119:105-112; 2 Peter 2:1-10)
ARE YOU WALKING IN THE LIGHT?
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105 ESV)
Are you walking in the light? If so, that means that you are taking seriously the directions God’s gives us for such a walk. Listen to what David says a few verses later in chapter 119.
“Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.”
Walking in the Light of God’s Word will prevent you from stumbling.
1. I want to walk as a child of the light;
I want to follow Jesus.
God set the stars to give light to the world;
The star of my life is Jesus.
Refrain:
In him there is no darkness at all;
The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God.
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.
2. I want to see the brightness of God;
I want to look at Jesus.
Clear Sun of Righteousness, shine on my path
And show me the way to the Father. [Refrain]
3. I’m looking for the coming of Christ;
I want to be with Jesus.
When we have run with patience the race,
We shall know the joy of Jesus. [Refrain]
(I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light, Lutheran Service Book #411)
Almighty God, may the light of Your Word be my guiding light. May I daily walk in the light of the cross and so glorify You and be used to draw others to Jesus. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
