In the light, you can see where you’re going

Morning: Psalms 70, 71; Job 28:1-28; Acts 16:25-40

Evening: Psalm 74; John 12:27-36a

Realizing he must die, Jesus is troubled.  He wonders: should he avoid death.  Instead he prays for God’s reputation to get a boost. God responds noisily, in a rare voice like thunder, saying, “I’ve already done that and I will keep at it.”  In other words, evil is being overcome.  Eventually, as Jesus is “lifted up” (on the Cross) he will draw people to him …  Walk in the light of this promise as children of light.  It’s easier to walk in the light than in the dark.  You can see where you’re going.
