Little Light

Lord-

I praise you for your faithfulness and love. You are the only true one who can restore us and bring us into our true purposeful self. You are big and great Lord. I stand in your praises today because I have this sense of peace and love. You give us each a light and you are the one supplying the energy to run it. Thank you for your light and strength to shine it. Just like my light cannot shine by my will alone, God is the one that supplies the strength, means, and atmosphere. In Exodus 33, my favorite Bible passage, Moses talks to the Lord and says that if the Lord's presence does not go with them, then may the people not go up from the land. He asked God to reveal himself and his presence, and the Lord went beyond going with Moses in spirit. God put him in the cleft of the mountain and passed by so that Moses would see God's back.

That passage is my favorite because God not only goes with Moses, but God assures Moses that he will go and even reveals himself to Moses. God wants to do the same thing with me. He wants to fulfill my request to see him and tuck me into a situation that provides a view to his magnificence. Sometimes my various clefts are hard place (between a rock and a hard place -- jk!), but at other times it is a joyous cleft.

Lord thank you for the clefts and cracks. You are redeemer of broken things.

In Jesus name,

Amen
