Light of your Presence

 

Let the light of your face shine upon us, Lord.

Most vitamin deficiencies, I think, can be sorted with supplements. Vitamin D, however, is most effectively received and used by our bodies when we are in the sunshine. Even in hot climates, it is advisable to spend several minutes a day basking in the rays of the sun in order to receive Vitamin D.

A challenge in Scotland.

Much of our spiritual sustenance is grabbed on the go. Praise music in the car, or an audio version of the Bible. Podcast while we wash up.

Nothing replaces the benefits of those several minutes spent basking in God’s presence. There is no supplement, no replacement for that.

May you give yourself a moment today to sit and drink in his presence, and so be refreshed and renewed. God reaches the places nothing else can.

Let the light of your face shine upon us, Lord.
