Become More Worthy October 23, 2023

“It is still one of the tragedies of human history that the “children of darkness” are frequently more determined and zealous than the “children of light.” - Martin Luther King

Striving to become something more than you are now takes work. You have to be steadfast in your effort in order to see results. If you’re trying to get in a regular exercise routine, you start with a twenty-minute workout, move to thirty and keep going until you can do an hour with relative ease. You know the outcome you want and you go after it.

We aspire to have the same resolve when it comes to improving our spirits, trying to become more enlightened or more perceptive to the things of God. We might start with twenty minutes of Bible reading and prayer, move to thirty, and then an hour. We do it because we know that the battle rages in the world between those who bear the light and those who would keep themselves and others in darkness. We know that we need to be strong if we’re going to make a difference and encourage the light for all to see.

“I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.” - Revelation 3:19 NLT

Let us pray: Lord, forgive us when we don’t do the things we know would give me more opportunity to grow as a child of light. Help us desire to do so and to follow through for the sake of those you might need us. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
