Thus says the LORD: "I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." Thus says the LORD: "In a time of favor I have answered you, in a day of salvation I have helped you; I have kept you and given you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages; saying to the prisoners, 'Come forth,' to those who are in darkness, 'Appear.' They shall feed along the ways, on all bare heights shall be their pasture; they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall smite them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.

May those who don't serve You, prostrate themselves before You as they see the Light that comes from Christ in me. My soul is darkened at times, Lord, so that Your Light is not radiant in my life. How I long for the Light of Christ to shine brilliantly. How I wish my life to be ablaze with the Holy Spirit's fire. |
Grant this to me this day, O Savior, for you have promised to answer us in a "day of salvation" Lead me out of darkness into Christ's light and may others see Christ's Light in me. amen.
