Be The LightSample

Blackout

There’s nothing worse than having a blackout on your block. This is when all the power is gone and you have no way of keeping your electrical appliances running. If a blackout lasts long enough, it has the possibility to spoil the food in your fridge. In the summer it means no A/C or fans that will work. Worse yet, this means no Fortnite until the power comes back on.

Not having any power to run the very things we can take for granted stinks. Yet many of our spiritual lives are in blackout because we aren’t connected to the source that gives us power.

We wake up and get juiced with social media or a text message from our boo and maybe, just maybe if we have time we will open up His word. I give you massive props for being in His word today and wanting to deepen your relationship with God.

The Psalmist reminds us that God’s word acts as a lamp to guide our path in moments in which our life may feel blacked out by the many uncertainties we face. Having His word allows me to stay connected to His heart. I may not be able to see what lies ahead, but knowing that He does, gives me a sense of peace and hope that everything will turn out alright.

His word is a reminder that my life doesn’t have to be like a blackout, especially when His light is powering up my life.  

Today you have the ability to walk through your dark circumstance with the guidance and illuminating light of Christ. When you take the time to be in His word, you are receiving a daily prophetic declaration of life into your life.

Continue to allow His light to direct your life so that you make every possible effort to eliminate the possibility of being blacked out.

1. How can I make it a habit to be in His word?

2. How does me being in His word change the outcome of my daily outlook at life?

3. PRAY: Lord today I want you to light my path because I don’t know where I’m going, but with you leading the way I know that there is no evil I should fear. AMEN
