Scripture:
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk
as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness,
righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the
Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10
Reflection:
Every Christian has a past. That past is described in today's reading
as "darkness." That was then, this is now. Now we are
different. The difference is like night and day, or at least it
should be. We should have a desire to walk in the light as a result
of our new life in Christ. Find out what pleases the Lord by
prayerfully searching the Scriptures, and then walk in that light you
discover. Goodness, righteousness and truth are just some of the
fruits you will find along your journey.
Prayer:
Father, by bringing us out of darkness into your marvelous light, you
have made us to be your children. Help us, Lord, to live our lives in
such a way as to please you in all things, as kids who always want to
please their Father. When we walk in your light we see things more
clearly, we see ourselves more clearly, for your light shines truth
on all things. Only in your truth we are truly free. Thank you for
bringing us out of darkness. Please bless the path ahead and may we
bring your light wherever we go. Amen.
