Being the Light
March 4, 2024
Good Morning Clawson Family,
Time to Spend some quiet time with God and allow him to lead and direct you today.
Song:
Scripture:
Matthew 5:13-17 NLT
Teaching about Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
John 9:5 New Living Translation
5 But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 1:5 New Living Translation
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.[a]
Journal:
Jesus gives us some super powerful statements in these scriptures. He is the light of the world. Just as He is the light, if you have the light of Jesus living in you. YOU ARE THE LIGHT. YOU ARE THE SALT. and how about this one. The Darkness can never extinguish it. I love this.
Pastor Elliot yesterday talked about how Satan tried over and over in scripture to snuff out the light, and how every single time he was unsuccessful because he is not powerful enough to snuff out the light of Jesus Christ. Light overpowers darkness every time. Now, get this, If you have Jesus, the light of the world, the most powerful force in the world, living in you then Satan cannot snuff out your light now matter how hard he tries. He is incapable of doing it. BUT... you can go into the dark places and shine and overpower it.
Write and journal what is going on in your spirit right now. What is God speaking to you.
Training:
Today is the day to shine. Don't hide your light. Allow the light of Christ to Shine brightly.
This week, TODAY... seek out and find dark places to shine your light and lets push back the forces of darkness with the light of Jesus that is in us.
Have a wonderful day,
Pastor Josh
