Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word.
Psalm 119:74
Lord Jesus, let my life be a living example of what is possible for those who have placed their hope in Your Word. I know that this does not mean that my life will be easy. On the contrary. It means it will not be easy. Nor does it mean that I will have all that I want and walk on “easy street”. Yet, I know that with the trials and tribulations will come peace and joy because as I go through I will go through with You, sensing Your presence all the way, knowing who I am and Whose I am. My life will be an example of what it means to trust in the Lord, and my little victories will be reminders to all who see me that You are indeed faithful and true, bringing to pass all that You have declared You would do in Your Word. They will be Your fingerprints testifying to Your goodness!
Use me and my life to make a difference in this world, beginning with those closest to me and ever expanding beyond my physical borders. As I try to let my light shine, continue to be the fuel inside my soul that causes it to radiate. Open my eyes daily to the wonder of Your Word, showing me different things everyday that I have missed in the past. Raise up around me “iron” souls who can sharpen me, even as I sharpen them, causing us to see You in each other, and rejoicing in the great work that You are doing in our lives. Thank You for being the Divine Difference Maker! Amen.
