I Will Leave the Light On

I Will Leave the Light On  

My Bride,

I am the light: The light of the world. I am your light and the love of your life. When your world feels cold and dark, you can count on Me to warm you from the inside out and lead you on a great journey. You will never stumble and fall if you will allow your Prince to light your way.

Trust in Me. I see perfectly in the dark, so never fear-I am here to move the obstacles out of your way or lead you safely around them. And if ever you do stumble in the dark, I will always pick you up with My loving arms. Rest assured, My beauty, there will always be a light on for you to be able to find your way back to Me.

Love,
Your Prince and Illumination

One More Night with the Frogs

One More Night with
the Frogs
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Moses said to Pharaoh, ‘I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.’ ‘Tomorrow,’ Pharaoh said.”
(Exodus 8:9–10, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD 
When the people of Israel were in slavery to Pharaoh, God sent different plagues to try to convince him to let them go. One of the plagues was a plague of frogs! The people were so miserable that Pharaoh finally said, “Moses, we’ve learned our lesson. The Israelites may go. Please ask your God to take away these frogs.” Moses said, “I’ll do it, Pharaoh. When do you want it to happen?” You would think Pharaoh would say, “Right now!” But no, Pharaoh said, “Take them away tomorrow.” He was saying, “We can put up with these frogs just one more night.”
How many times do we do the same thing? “Dana Marie, I’m going to forgive, but I’m going to do it tomorrow. I’m going to have a better attitude. I’m going to quit worrying...tomorrow.” We’re saying like Pharaoh, “I can put up with this addiction, this mediocrity one more day.” No, our attitude should be, “I’m not going to spend one more night with the frogs, putting up with things that are not God’s best.”
Why don’t you start today? Today, make the change. Today, choose to forgive. Today, stop worrying. Today, get in shape. Today, take a step of faith. Shake off passivity and procrastination and get rid of anything that would hold you back!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, today I choose to release everything that has tried to hold me back. I release the past; I release bitterness; I release failures and missed opportunities. Instead, I embrace Your grace and power to boldly move forward into the blessing You have for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.
