Vesta Ryan
Sun and Son
Scripture: Psalm 84:11a (NRSV) For the Lord God is a sun and shield; he bestows favor and honor.
Devotion: Are you like me? When the sun shines and warms me, I’m in a good mood – happy, jolly, bouncy. But when it’s cloudy and cold, the opposite is true – sad, solemn, quiet.
My breakfast room has two large windows facing east, so when the sun comes up, it shines on the table where my solar powered flower, daisy, sits near my coffee cup.
Daisy dances from side to side in the sun. She’s connected to the source. But when a cloud blocks the sun, she slowly stops, reviving, connecting, only when the cloud goes by.
I’m like that! When I do God’s will He shines on me and makes me happy. When I let worries block my thoughts, I get depressed. I need to keep connected.
I need the sun, but most of all I need the SON.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Be the sun of my life. Let your Son shine out of me to others. Forgive us, in Jesus’ name. Amen
