Today’s Bible verse – 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NKJV)
“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Devotional Thought For Today
You don’t have to pretend the darkness isn’t real.
The nights you cried and no one knew. The silent drive home when you thought about quitting—for good. The guilt you carry because, even though you’re saved, sometimes it still feels like you’re sinking.
But there’s a truth deeper than your shadows: Light still speaks.
The same God who said, “Let there be light” over the formless void in Genesis speaks that same miracle into your life now. Not by flipping a switch, but by revealing a face—the face of Jesus Christ.
This isn’t just a warm, religious phrase. This is the glory of God breaking into your actual, personal heart—through Jesus.
Paul wasn’t writing from a candlelit cathedral. He was shipwrecked, hunted, bruised, misunderstood. Yet he said the light of the knowledge of God’s glory was shining—in him. And not some generic light. No, the very glory of God displayed in the face of Jesus.
That means your light doesn’t come from circumstances improving. It comes from looking at Him.
When anxiety closes in, when the future terrifies you, when shame chokes your prayers—look up. There is a Light that has not gone out. There is a face that still shines.
And that Light isn’t passive. It’s not distant. It breaks through. It enters caves and hospital rooms and one-bedroom apartments. It doesn’t shame the darkness—it invades it.
If your heart feels dim today, take this as God’s whisper: Let there be light.
Not just any light. Christ Himself, shining in you.
Prayer for June 4, 2025
Jesus, when my world feels dark, shine Your light in me again. Remind me that the same God who spoke light into the void now lives in my heart. Help me look to Your face, not my fears. Let Your glory not just surround me—but transform me. When shadows creep in, be my radiance. You are my Light and my salvation. Amen.
