August 6 HIS Guiding Light 2 Peter 1:3
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:3)
When the power goes off, at my house, the first thing that we do is to open all of the curtains and the doors, to allow the natural light to come in. Although the natural light is usually minimal, we can continue to operate, awaiting the power to be restored. Amazingly, in the Christian life, we experience a momentary loss of power. Think about it… When the Doctor reveals a serious health issue, or you receive a message that your loved one is in trouble, or you experience the death of a dear friend, or you experience a financial reversal, or the unexpected revelation of wrongs by a dear friend… These are the moments in our lives when we need to run to the Light! I thank God that He has provided infinite and dynamic power to keep our world operating along and it is bursting with energy. This same Divine Power provides strength, vision, endurance, and guidance when we face the seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles of life! PRAISE GOD! It is through HIS Power that we are able to face the present-day challenges and are prepared to deal with the issues of the future, with Divine Confidence and HIS Power! We have what we need, when we are walking with HIM, PRAISING HIM, and actively SERVING HIM, even when we are experiencing a momentary power outage in our lives. There are days when I am overwhelmed with the challenges and issues of the day, and I “feel” that the light has dimmed, and at times, has gone out, but, in those times, I slow down, walk deliberately, Call out to God, and Claim His Power for Restoration, Recovery, Direction, and HIS GUIDING LIGHT! Everyone of us experience times of “low light,” but HE is ready, willing, and able to BRIGHTEN our Way, and Illuminate our Path! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LOOK TO HIS LIGHT WHEN LIFE GETS DARK!!!! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
