“The moon and stars to rule by night, for His lovingkindness is
everlasting.  To Him who smote the
Egyptians in their firstborn, for His lovingkindness is everlasting,” (Psalm
136:9-10)

Even during that time which we
call dark, there is light.  The Lord is
always reminding us of His presence.  Be
reminded of His presence and then come into His purpose.  He has made You and You are called to become
as He is; that is, to grow in the likeness of Christ.  Be guided by the grace and mercy of the Lord
God who called you from darkness into the light of His everlasting presence.

Lord, I am sometimes overwhelmed with the thought of these things.  Lead me away from trying to figure everything
out, and into the place where I marvel at the way things are.  Teach me the fullness of Your revelation and
grow in me love for You and my neighbor. 
In You Lord is life and liberty. 
In You is found hope and everlasting life.  You have called me into Your presence now and
forever.

Lord Jesus, walking with You is
walking in the promise that leads to everlasting life.  Guide me this day to be a child of the
light.  Help me to grow in Your likeness,
learning to live each day as You give it. 
Guide me, Lord Jesus, in the way You know I need to go.  Help me to grow in wisdom and understanding.  Lord, You know all that is needed, and the
Father provides even before we ask. 
Thank You!  Amen.
