JESUS: DAYSPRING
The Dayspring from on high has visited us.
Luke 1:78
The Dayspring is like the point on the horizon where the sun first shines. Jesus is the
Dayspring who shines the light of salvation to your darkened heart. He is the first hope that help is on the way. Jesus is the Dayspring who brought you hope for a new life. Jesus can
shine in your life to show you where to walk this day.
Lord, I need light on my path. If I knew what to do, I would do it. It’s hard to have
hope when the night is so scary. Shine Light on my path today.
Jesus is the Dayspring. Just as the early morning sun shines over the horizon and dispels the darkness of the night, so His light comes to dispel the darkness in our lives. Don’t be afraid of last night’s darkness that breeds ignorance, doubt, and despair. Look for the Dayspring on the horizon; you’ll find the rising sun compelling. Don’t complain about darkness, look to the Dayspring, the beginning of light. When you originally looked to Christ, He gave you new hope. Just as the morning sun helps you understand your world, so He can enlighten this day’s activities. And what the Dayspring can do today, He can do tomorrow, and the next day. “The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18).
Dayspring, be the Sunrise of my life. There are so many paths; I need
light to help me choose the right path for today. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 84
Key Thought: Jesus is the Beginning of your optimism.
