Psalm 72:12-14 He will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
There are times when the most robust and healthy are afflicted; the strong and independent are pitiful and dying inside; the tough and mighty are oppressed and persecuted. We all need deliverance, some more often than others. Always remember when you are being oppressed by someone, there is probably something they need deliverance from. Cry out to the LORD on their behalf and ask Him to provide their deliverance through you!
Father, help me remember that those who break hearts are often heartbroken. Heal my heart so that I may be Your agent to deliver others from their pain. I love You…and them. Amen

Luke 8:16-17 No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
The smallest of lights can overpower utter darkness. A simple match struck in a dark cave can illuminate the way to escape. How much more powerful is the light of Jesus? He came to this dark earth to show us the way to the secure passage for eternal life. He wants our lives to be His light for others as we show them the way. When the light of Jesus is allowed to shine into a situation, things change. Are you willing to expose Him to others through your life? It may take being vulnerable and sharing some dark sins or struggles in your past that the saving power of Christ has brought you through to stand in His light. With some people, your testimony may be the only light of Jesus they are willing to see…let Him shine through you!
Dear Savior, Make me aware of opportunities You put in front of me to be Your light. Shine Your light into the dark places of my heart so they may be forgiven, strengthened and serve as a light to guide others from their own darkness. Thank You for lighting my way. Amen
