Pastor Kevin's Weekly Devotion
February 3, 2012
The season after the Epiphany emphasizes two themes of Epiphany Day (January 6):
- the light of Christ blazes in every darkness like the star that guided the Magi and
- God's salvation is open to all people, everywhere, all the time – even when they have turned away from God.
This prayer for the season after Epiphany touches on both those themes. William Bright, who taught church history at Oxford in the latter part of the 19th century, wrote the prayer.
Everlasting God, you gave us the faith of Christ
for a light to our feet amid the darkness of this world.
Have pity on all who, by doubting and denying it,
are gone astray from the path of safety.
Bring home the truth to their hearts, and grant them to receive it;
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Grace to you and peace,
Kevin
