Devotion for Friday, October 25, 2024
“Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear” (Matthew 13:43).
The Light of the world is Christ who shines the radiance of the Father’s glory. He has made it possible for us to be made new. Those who embark on the journey of renewal will be in the Spirit of the living God as He transforms them into a child of the Heavenly Father. Be led by the One who brings you into His kingdom.
Lord, the mystery is great, but the more I walk in Your way, the more I can see Your hand changing me day by day. Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to look to You to lead and be led in the way You know I need to be. Holy Spirit, pour into me what needs to be poured into me and bring me to the place where I let go of what needs to be let go. In all things, bring forth Your righteousness You will shine through me.
Lord Jesus, You have come sharing the truth of creation. There are those around me who will not conform to Your image. But help me to see that You are speaking to me anew each day. Guide me by Your living word so that I may grow into Your likeness. Grow in me Your righteousness that I may reflect Your light to the world around me. Lead me, Lord, according to Your goodness and mercy. Amen.
