Beloved,
Day 135 of Bible in One Year Devotion:
In today's reading, we encounter the theme of guidance and illumination, both spiritually and practically.
In Psalms 60:5-12, we find the Psalmist crying out to God amidst turmoil and uncertainty. Despite facing challenges, the Psalmist acknowledges God's sovereignty and seeks His guidance. This serves as a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, we can turn to God for direction and clarity.
John 8:12-30, specifically verse 12, reinforces this idea of seeking guidance from Jesus, who declares Himself as the light of the world. Just as light dispels darkness, Jesus brings clarity and understanding to our lives. By following Him, we navigate through life's complexities with confidence and assurance.
However, as we see in Judges 18 and Judges 19, there are consequences when people stray from God's guidance. The Israelites in these chapters face turmoil and tragedy because they turn away from God's ways and seek their own paths. This serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of staying aligned with God's will.
As we reflect on today's passages, let's commit to seeking God's guidance in every aspect of our lives. Let's trust in Jesus, the light of the world, to lead us through the darkness and uncertainty. May we remain steadfast in following His ways, knowing that He alone can illuminate our path and bring us safely through any trial or challenge.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your spiritual and physical guidance and illumination. Help us to trust in Jesus Your Son, the light of the world, to lead us through the darkness and uncertainties of life. Amen.
