Scripture: John 12: 35 Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Those who walk in the dark do not know where they are going.
Observation: I believe there is some darkness around all the time even in the midst of the light.
Application: I have known some very intelligent people in my life time. I could see their abilities put into action in ways that they understood and were able to develop to make things better and easier and even more profitable. It was in their control. But at the same time, there was darkness in their life. The problems that life brings still invaded their space and sometimes would make their lives miseriable. Some are faithful followers of Jesus and some are not, but still that darkness creeps in from time to time.
Even though Jesus was predicting his death, I think he was letting us know that even though we have the light there is still that element of darkness that overcomes us when our guard is down and we have wandered off out of the light.
The word for me today is to keep my focus on the light [Jesus] and to use the light of The
Word as a guide through even the darkness.
Prayer: Lord help me to keep my focus on the Light and help me to remember that even though life happens to me there is still that peace that only you can provide in the end. Thanks for loving me anyway, Stephen
Yieldedness: I give up any thoughts that I might save myself and leave the saving to Jesus.
