Devotional Passage: John 12:31-36 Saint James Assembly of Faith
While ye have light, believe in the Light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. John 12:36
Last winter we had a terrible ice storm in Texas, and we lost power. Without light to guide our steps and actions, we walked through our home with less certainty. Our arms reached out, trying to find a way in the darkness. Walking in the dark made us more appreciative of the freedom that comes with walking in the light.
When Jesus was teaching the people about His impending death, He told them to walk while they had the light with them. He knew that the time was coming when He would no longer be with them. The person who walks without knowing God is stumbling in the darkness. When we, as children of God, stumble through life, it is because we are forsaking the light that we possess.
As God’s children, we can walk with greater confidence and awareness. We have the light! Unlike those who stumble in darkness, not knowing Him, we are free to step with certainty. As believers, we take action knowing that it is the Light of the World who illuminates our path.
Father, let me walk with confidence today, knowing that You are the One guiding my steps.
