14 day plan

God in the Ordinary, Everyday Life

Day 12 of 14

NIV

John 8:12

"Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12, NLT 

Reflection:

Last year, I found myself 61 metres below ground, in a mine, with only the light on my helmet to show the way. The tunnels were dark and scary and if I was not careful, I could have gotten lost. It would have been so foolish for me to turn off my light and assume that I could carry on the journey without it.

Yet, how often do I think I can carry on my life without God guiding and directing me? I can go for days in complete darkness without even thinking of checking in with God and then wonder why I can’t seem to find my way.   

Are you able to recognise when you’re walking in the dark?   

Prayer:

Our Heavenly Father,  Thank you for being the Way, the Truth and the Light.  Please forgive us when we walk in darkness and steer us toward the light.  Amen.  Â
