Daily Bible Verse: Matthew 5:14
‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.’
- The Lord wants His light to shine through us into a broken and dark world.
- The light of God in you makes you different.
- Light brings with it the warmth and the hope of all that is longed for.
- Be a beacon of light and bring hope and joy to others around you.
Prayer: Lord, may my life be one of purpose and destiny, as I reflect and shine Your light into the world around me. Cause me to be a beacon of hope, a lighthouse of protection, and a source of comfort to others. Amen.
Daily Bible Verse: Matthew 5:14
‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.’
These must be some of the most comforting words in the entire Bible. My grace is sufficient for you! Other translations say the following:
My gracious favor is all you need!
My grace is all you need!
My grace is enough for you!
But what does this mean? I believe it is simple yet profound. I believe it means that God says: "I am standing with you in this situation. That’s really all we need to know." Sufficient also means enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end. The Greek word for sufficient means "to be content . . . to raise a barrier …… to ward off that which pushes us to one side." I sometimes wish God had said that He would simply remove the situation. Perhaps you have had a similar situation that You wished God would just remove? God’s response was one of: ‘I know what you are facing and I am right here with you, providing you with just what you need at the moment you need it!’
