Today God says:
"You are the light of the world".
He promises me:
"You are the light of the world … Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven". (Matt. 5:14-16)
My response to the word:
I am the light of the world, illuminating by the abiding Light of Jesus Christ who lives within me. Throughout this day I will let His light shine through me. Wherever I go, I will dispel the darkness of this world. I will do good works at every opportunity that is presented to me. In this way, I know that others will glorify my Father in heaven.
My prayer:
Father, thank you for Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world. Help me to be like Him, allowing my light to shine wherever I go. I want others to see you in my life today.
Today's scriptures:
"While you have the light, believe in the light so that you will become people whose lives show the light". (John 12:36 GW) "Once you lived in the dark, but now the Lord has filled you with the light. Live as children who have light". (Eph. 5:8 GW) "You belong to the day and the light not to the night and the dark". (1 Thess. 5:5 GW)
Quote for today:
Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. (D T Niles)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 10th February 1859, Jonathan Goforth was born on his father's farm near Thomdale, Ontario, Canada. He was the seventh of 11 children. He had a godly upbringing, but in spite of missing much public school because of work on the farm he graduated at the top of his class. He married Florence Rosalind Bell-Smith and the couple went to China, where they had a very hard life, but a very fruitful ministry and they labored together for 47 years. Their field was a pioneer work in North Honan Province, considered one of the most dangerous and anti-foreign sections of anti-foreign China. Many in China and Mongolia came to Christ through the Goforths.
