Savior

Sometimes, when you’re least expecting it, light shines into your life. You see…clearer than you’ve ever seen before. You see the way forward and you see the Savior who guides you.

Are you on your back, staring at the ceiling or sky, and despairing of ever rising again?

It was a humble start for the Son of God’s earthly ministry. Baptism…in a muddy river at a remote location. But that small beginning holds great significance for you and me.

How closely are you following Jesus the Nazarene? Are you near enough to see the calloused hands that held a hammer and nails? Can you hear his voice both kind and commanding? Can you see the determination on his face to do the Father’s will?

There’s a truism in sports that claims, “You play like you practice.” In your spiritual life, it could also be said that “You pray like you practice.”
