Lent Reflections Day 21: Light

Pastor Tiffany Hollums decided that each day during Lent, she would choose a word to prayerfully reflect upon. A volunteer suggested reading the lectionary texts and then choosing a word that stood out to her from those passages. Tiffany is sharing her Lenten reflections here and hopes to inspire our readers to join in her journey.

Readings:

• Psalm 23

• 1 Samuel 15:22-31

• Ephesians 5:1-9

Reflection:

We are children of light in a world that loves the dark. Light shines brightest in the dark. In those moments when you are tempted to wonder if the light truly can make a difference-think of the comfort you felt as a small child when the light was turned on in a dark room. You never fully realize the power of a single ray of light quite like you do when you are surrounded in darkness. Don’t lose heart and let the light shine in and through you. Let the light of Christ chase the darkness away.
