Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

— Psalm 119:105

So often, those of us who have received the blessings of faith and the guidelines of the Word of God don't fully appreciate them. Can you imagine what it is like to try to define ones worth, clarify ones values, and establish ones sense of purpose without a standard of truth? Imagine what it would be like to be lost without a map and without a compass? Remember what it was like to wake up in an unfamiliar place as a child in the pitch black darkness totally disoriented? We don't have to worry about that now, do we? God's Word — both Scripture and his Son — light our dark paths and show us the way home!

My Prayer...

O LORD, my Abba Father, thank you for not leaving me in darkness. Your Word lights my path and your Son, the Light of the World, lights my life. Thank you for not leaving me alone to find my way. In Jesus' name. Amen

We dependent on eachother to function well

Romans 12 verse 4 For just as in one [physical] body we have many parts, and these parts do not all have the same function or special use, so we, who are many, are [nevertheless just] one body in Christ, and individually [we are] parts one of another [mutually dependent on each other].

Prayer

Thank you Father for the gift of life and all that is in store for us today. Thank you that in your kingdom though we are many we are one body. Thank you that we all have unique gifts to bring to the body in order for it to function well. Help us to identify our role in the body of Christ and to do it well. Thank you that even if we have different roles no one is lesser than the other. Forgive us for the many times we have neglected our role and made the body of Christ suffer. May we be alert to the leading of the holy spirit and be eager to do our part always. Help us to encourage and cheer eachother up as we move together as one body so that your name will be glorified in all the earth in Jesus's name we pray with thanksgiving and praise Amen and Amen.
