The Lighthouse

"The Lighthouse"

Scripture Reading:
John 12:35  (HCSB) Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.
The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

Devotional Reading:

Tom Landry is best known for being the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He is now in heaven, watching his team from the best seat in the house! But before he died, he told the story of a captain of a battleship who, in the middle of the night, saw the light of another ship coming directly at him. The captain radioed the oncoming ship and said, "Turn south immediately."  The response was, "You turn south immediately." The captain was furious. He radioed back, "This is a battleship. I command you to turn south immediately." The response was, "This is the lighthouse. You turn south immediately." Often we have an attitude like that captain's. We are arrogant towards God and mankind. We expect others to get out of our way and we ignore God's guidance for living our life. Then, suddenly, we find ourselves shipwrecked and feeling like fools. Jesus Christ is the Lighthouse trying to warn us of danger, and lead us to safety. I encourage you to trust Christ and be willing to follow His leadership in your life. He will keep you out of a lot of trouble.

Keep the Son in your eyes,
