Psalm 36:9: “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.”
As I reflected on 2013, I thought about what 2014 might bring. How about you? I heard several people mention diet and exercise as their New Year’s resolutions.
What about spiritual commitments or choices? Will you read more than one or two Bible verses quickly each day in order to draw from the fountain of life?
The first week of November, I felt the Lord leading me to read ten chapters from the Bible daily. Those chapters encouraged me during my illness and comforted me during the Christmas season. I saw the light of the Lord rather than darkness.
Every thought, word, and action we choose in 2014 will either direct us to the fountain of life or to the snares of darkness, death and destruction.
For 2014, I’m reading five Bible chapters daily. I desire to draw the living water of God’s wisdom from the fountain of life and bask in his light. It won’t always be easy to keep up the reading, but it will be worth it.
The Lord will provide opportunities to share lessons learned from the fountain of life.
What will you see in 2014? What will you share?
Dear God, help me remember you alone are the fountain of life. Amen.
Application: What will you do this week to see the Lord’s light?
