Daily Devotional - 3rd September, 2012
I'm standing on the curb, glancing up at a moonlit sky. Stars in their abundance. The fresh breeze across my face. A little chill down my spine. What a sight. A clear, full moon, and a sense of awe. Two words cross my mind... "Praise God."
Then I saw the clouds, darkened by the night, begin to shift. They slowly moved across the sky and began to block the brightness of the moon, until they completely covered up my inspiring view.
Then a Bible verse immediately crept into my consciousness. Have you heard the one that mentions that the Devil blinds the minds of unbelievers? Have a look at this verse from the Bible - 'The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God' (2 Corinthians 4:4).
The faith light shines brightly like the moon for some. They have a growing understanding of who Jesus really is and have committed their lives to following after him. For many others, the clouds have completely moved across the light and faith remains a complete mystery.
Jesus, would you move away the barriers that have swiped across the consciousness of people in our society, that they may see the fullness of who you really are?
Ponder: Pray that God may remove those elements of your life, that seem to impede your capacity to wholeheartedly connect with him.
Bible: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
