GOD’S WORD FOR FEBRUARY 21

We are reading from a daily devotional  called “Running To Win” written by Erwin Lutzer  and the late, great D.L. Moody.   Erwin Lutzer is a light in our day as D.L. Moody was in his.

THE LIGHT OF OUR SAVIOR

Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;  Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

D.L. MOODY

Must not there be light where there is shadow?  Can you get a shadow without light?  If you doubt it, go down into the cellar tonight without a light and find your shadow if you can.  All that death can do to a true believer is to throw a shadow across his path.  Shadows never hurt anyone.  You can walk right through then as you can through fog.  There is nothing to fear.

I pity down deep in my heart any  man or woman that lives under the bondage of death!  If you are under it, may God bring you out today!  May you come right out into the liberty of the blessed gospel of the Son of God!

 ERWIN LUTZER

In the Bible, the word “light” is frequently used to convey the idea of truth and reality.  To the scientist, light means “purity.”  To the philosopher, light means “knowledge and understanding.”  Jesus is all these things and more as the “Light of the world.”  Scripture says.  “The light shineth in darkness:  and the darkness comprehended it not.”  (John 1:5).

Today. There are people who fight against the light; they prefer the darkness that hides their deeds.  They try to extinguish the light.  Those who walked in darkness crucified Jesus to extinguish the light.  Although they crucified Him, they could not destroy Him:  His light still shines.  We are invited to “Walk in the light as He is in the light.” (1 John 1:7).  Christ is the light that guides us all the days of our lives until we cross through death and into glory.  We find our hope and comfort in Him.

PRAYER

Father, I thank You for the coming of Jesus.  I thank You that the light has come:  Please help me to walk in that light today.
