Prepare: "Let your... lights be burning" (Luke 12:35)
Read: Luke 8:16-25
Many stumble along life's pathway led by wrong beliefs, values and leadership. What is my responsibility as one whose life is illumined by the Word of God?
That all may see Christ in me: Our devotion to the Lord should compel us to tell about Him to those who do not know Him. (2 Cor 5:14-15). We need to show Christ through our life, word and deed. We cannot hide the light and allow people to grope in darkness, but we must blaze a trail for others to follow.
That all may be one in the family of God: Jesus saw beyond His human relationships to those who obeyed His Word and His will. We cannot be bound by biological or geographical relationships, or the churches and missions we belong to. Anyone who is born into the Kingdom of God is our kinsman and we are all one big family of God, irrespective of colour, race, language or social status.
That all may experience the power of God: Many around us go through storms of life diseases, poverty, prolonged mental and physical suffering, handicaps, etc. They cry out without hope, not realizing or accepting that God controls the circumstances in human life and the world's history. In order that they experience the power of God in their life, let us be channels of His peace, power and healing.
Respond: Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that have broken will vibrate once more. (Fanny Crosby)
