Epiphany is a season of light and a time when God’s presence is revealed in unexpected places. Every Wednesday and Friday during the Epiphany season, we will be sharing a devotional reflection that invites us to follow Christ as our Rising Star, pausing to reflect on how his light continues to guide our faith and shape our lives.
TODAY: Stars inspire us and uplift us. Jesus inspires and uplifts us at difficult times.
Taking the time to slow down and observe the stars in the night sky can be an inspiring and uplifting experience. In the same way, taking the time to slow down and consider the words and ways of Jesus can inspire and uplift us.
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Take time today to talk with Jesus about the parts of your life that need encouragement and hope. What signs of hope do you see in your life and our world today?
PRAYER
Thank you Jesus, joining us in our suffering, and always providing us with hope for tomorrow. AMEN.
