Joseph’s Faithfulness
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.—Matthew 1:24–25 (ESV)
“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.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.—Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?—Matthew 6:26 (NIV)
