My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Winn Collier, AT THIS LINK … used the story of the rescue of the soccer team in 2018, who were exploring a deep cave and were caught - in darkness - for almost 3 weeks, but were brought out of the darkness of near death to the light of life.
I think all reading with me here hate the darkness of our sin nature (see Romans 3:23 on your own), a darkness that we all experience in our own flesh. But for those of us who’ve surrendered the darkness of our sin to follow the light of Christ, we relish the Light of the World Whom we follow out of our darkness of sin and death and following His light of truth and life.
And I pray that all of us are surrendered to follow His light - the Light of the World - today and stay on the lighted path of His truth (see Ps 119:105, following His light out of our darkness and onto the path of righteousness (see Scriptures from John above).
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for shining Your Light on my patch every day to lead me out of my own darkness.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to follow Your Light, Lord, out of our darkness and onto Your well-lit path today. … Amen
