Stay on the Holy Highway

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it.—Isaiah 35:8 NIV

A Little Spring for Your Spirit

As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.—Hosea 6:3 NIV

This time of year is a powerful reminder that we serve a living God. The greening grass and budding trees are living examples of birth and rebirth. When the world seems chaotic, look to the most triumphant of seasons and know that things are in order with God. Spring is on time.

Renew our spirits, Lord, as You do the earth after a long winter.

Your Time Will Come

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.—Isaiah 40:31 NIV

Sometimes opportunities take time to develop. When you think that your dreams will never come to fruition, close your eyes and imagine them realized. By envisioning the future, you can glimpse the joy of a goal achieved and in that imagined success, you can continue to move forward with renewed encouragement and inspiration.

When I grow restless, Lord, remind me that my time will come.

The Blessed Trinity

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.—Matthew 28:19 NIV

Today as we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, consider the shamrock. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock in his sermons to represent the Trinity and how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit can all exist as separate parts of the same entity coming together to support us with love and comfort.

In the words of Saint Patrick, “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me.”

Set Your Spirit for More Light
