The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God. (John 1:9-12)
Jesus, the only true light….the only path to eternity….came. Though offered to everyone, not everyone recognizes Him for who He is as Savior. Those who do become children of God.
Through every situation, Jesus is offered as my hope daily…..minute by minute….and no matter the situation. Do I recognize Him? Do I recognize His work on my behalf?
He’s my Savior! Do I really think He’s going to love me enough to die for me, and then leave me to stumble through? No, He’s not a love ’em and leave ’em kind of guy! He said He’d never leave me and I believe Him.
He’s my hope and my salvation and there’s power in that name
Call out to Him. Try it. There’s power in that name.
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Lord, thank You for the hope and salvation we have in you! I sit at the edge of my seat watching for You in my life. May it ever be so! Thank You that You came and that You keep coming every day in every thing.

He is our hope and He is always working in our lives. Unfortunately, I think we get so focused on our circumstances and what we are going through that we miss what He is doing in our midst. Thanks for the encouragement this morning to look for Him and what He is doing.

So true, Shelly. We sometimes take our eyes off of Him, and that’s when we begin to sink. All we have to do is call out and He will immediately reach out and take our hand. What an awesome Jesus!
