May 28 - Vignettes on Prayer
In Matt 5:16, it states that we are to let our light shine for all to see, that our good works would bring glory and honor to the Lord. Back in 1986, I had the privilege to go to Israel. We spent the day on the Sea of Galilee and at the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus gave the Sermon of the Mount. That night we stay at a hotel on the Sea of Galilee. Just before we went to bed I went for a walk and noticed the hills around the sea flickering with lights. This verse hit me like a ton of bricks. Those this is what Jesus was talking about, and letting our light shine before the world. We do it but how we live more than what we say. When we live what we say it brings glory to God. Part of that process is prayer. God through His word and our prayer time speaks into our lives and tells how we should think, talk and act. So today let prayer be the vehicle to bring about actions that will glorify God and enable for our light to shine in this dark world.
