Devotion:
Read Acts 12:6-10.
As with angels singing to the shepherds at Christmas and announcing the risen Christ at Easter, light is again associated with God’s messengers. In many ways, God’s light continues to bring good news and release people from all kinds of prisons. Prayer becomes the conduit to release the light of God into our world. The church earnestly prayed for Peter and his situation and what happened? An angel appeared shining a light into the darkness of that prison. Then the chains fell away, gates opened, and Peter walked free! Imagine the possibilities if the church today did the same thing. Imagine what could happen to hunger, violence, greed, despair, injustice. Just imagine and pray.
Personal Worship Option:
Do you feel you are in an impossible situation? Feel things are out of your control? Need God’s light in your world? Then pray. Pray today for the light of God to shine in all the dark spaces that cause you worry and pain.
