Trust the Light Bible in a Year: Leviticus 4–5 Matthew 24:29–51 Believe in the light . . . so that you may become of light. John 12:36 Today's Scripture & Insight: John 12:25–33, 35–36 The weather forecast said bomb cyclone. That’s what happens when a winter storm rapidly intensifies as the atmospheric pressure drops. By the time night fell, the blizzard conditions made the highway to the Denver airport almost impossible to see. Almost. But when it’s your who’s flying home to visit, you do what you have to do. You pack extra clothes and water (just in case you get stranded on the highway), drive very slowly, pray without ceasing, and last but not least, trust your headlights. And sometimes you can achieve the almost impossible. Jesus foretold of a storm on the horizon, one that would involve His death (John 12:31–33), and one that would challenge His followers to stay faithful and serve (v. 26). It was going to get dark and be almost impossible to see. Almost. So what did Jesus tell them to do? Believe, or trust, the Light (v. 36). That was the only way they could keep going forward and stay faithful. Jesus would only be with them a little while longer. But believers have His Spirit as our constant guide to light the way. We too will face dark times when it’s almost impossible to see the way ahead. Almost. But by believing, or trusting in the Light, we can press on. Reflect & Pray What dark season have you been through lately? How did Jesus, the Light, help you keep going? Jesus, thank You for being the light in my darkness. Help me to trust and keep going.

I take one day at a time, and try not to worry about things that may or may not happen, just praying and trusting the Lord for his peace and strength. When times are really hard, I take it just one hour at a time, and if necessary, one minute at a time. And there have been times in my life when that was necessary. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
