In some areas, school is out for the summer. While we are not quite to the end of the school year where I live, the end of the school year is often celebrated as we prepare for the sunshine and warmth of summer. Spending time in the summer sun, we also need protection!
In our spiritual lives, we also need light and protection when we head into the world. We need to live in the world and interact with the world in order to spread God's love. We need to carry His light with us and allow others to see it. However, we also need protection from the evil and temptation in the world. Fortunately, God is also a shield to protect us. With the light and protection of God, we can rely on Him to help us to stand tall and to demonstrate His saving favor and power!
Walk through the world with God as your light and shield to bring goodness and grace!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your light and protection. Help me to spread Your love and grace to all those I encounter. In Jesus I pray, amen.
