Advent Day 18

Advent Day 18

4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. – John 1:4-5 NIV

Those of us who are old enough remember where we were on September 11, 2001. The unprecedented events of that day brought the nation to its knees. In God of Light and Life in this week’s devotionals, the author recalls the impact he felt as it awakened him from his personal darkness. His response was to open a drawer and find the Word of Life he hadn’t read in years. Don’t wait for such a moment of darkness to draw you back to the Light of the World. What do you remember, or have you heard retold, about September 11, 2001? Pause your journey to Christmas to return to the Light that we desperately sought as darkness descended on our country that day. Pray that the Light of Jesus would be rekindled in your heart and shine in the darkness we still see at work in our world.
