Devotion for Wednesday, December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day - 75th Anniversary)


The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined (Isaiah 9:2)

75 years ago a "day which will live in infamy" occurred.  Our nation was thrust into World War II and in many ways, amidst the dark moments of being attacked, our nation became a "light" in the midst of a dark world-wide situation.

As I sat watching the sun come up this morning I was reminded that God promises light amidst all darknesses.  We don't always see it, but perhaps it is because we have not looked hard enough for it.

What is a darkness in your life right now? Can you see the light of God shining hope and promise? If not, have you sought the light? Can you offer time and space to seek the light?

Amidst one of the darkest moments in our nation's history, we found a way to seek the light and be the light.

May you find ways to seek and be the light in your life.
