Set Your Spirit for More Light

“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”—John 9:5 ESV

The word “light” appears more than two hundred times in the Bible. Light represents the presence of God. Light gives us comfort and understanding. We strive to walk in God’s light. Today as we change the clocks ahead for Daylight Saving Time, consider the importance of light in your spiritual life.

Lord, today I will concentrate on setting my spirit to let in more of Your glorious light.

Interruptions Happen

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.—Psalm 37:5 NIV

Sometimes distractions pull us away from our time with God. Your best intentions for devotion can be detoured by a pressing need. Instead of getting upset, squeeze in time whenever you can. Commit your way to the Lord and trust that interruptions are part of His plan.

Heavenly Father, if a distraction needs my attention, be with me along the way and guide me back to You.

A Gentle Answer

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 NIV
Next time you are tempted to speak harshly against another who has hurt you, stop for a moment. Is the problem as serious as you’re making it? Will your words improve the situation, lead to a solution, or only show your anger? Whatever you say, be compassionate and caring. Set your mind on mending the relationship.

Keep me, God, from stirring up anger. Help me use words that comfort and heal.

Look Ahead with Hope

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!—Psalm 42:11 NLT

Heavenly Father, no matter what challenges I face, I can still rejoice in You. You are the Source of all hope. I trust Your plan.
