Devotions:
Read Psalm 36:5-9.
The Grand Canyon. Niagara Falls. The Rocky Mountains. These are some “out of this world” vistas. The Psalmist uses images to paint some dramatic pictures of God’s vast love that we might describe as “out of this world!” His love reaches to the heavens, his faithfulness covers the sky, his righteousness is taller than the highest mountain, and his justice reaches to the deepest sea. God’s unchanging character provides believers a bounty of blessings. We can run to him for protection when we are lonely or fearful. We can gain strength when we are weary. We can drink from the life-giving fountain of God’s love that has no limits. And no matter what kind of circumstances that we face, God offers light in the darkness. Even in our darkest moments, God’s light is able to shine through and give us the clarity and wisdom we need. With these rich blessings comes the responsibility to pass them on to others. We are called not only to receive and know this love for ourselves, but to share it with others, guiding them to its source, the fountain of life. Let’s do as the children’s song says, “This little light of mine I’m going to let it shine. Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.”
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer: God of love, thank you for your limitless, boundless love that fills me with all good things. God of light, thank you for shining light in the dark places of my life. I pray today that I will be a beacon of light for others as I reflect your goodness and love. Amen.
