The Light Shall Shine Out of Darkness

Each year on the twelfth full moon, the country of Thailand celebrates light. This was our first windy Loi Kratong, which really highlighted the futility of the "prayers" floating down the canal. We are blessed to know and follow the Light of the world. We pray that we are able to shine our lights to lead others to the Light.

 The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them. Isaiah 9:2

 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7

 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him all stars of light! Psalm 148:3

  For you light my lamp; the Lord my God illumines my darkness.    Psalm 18:28

As we light the kratong...

 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light Ephesians 5:8

We have light!

 The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1

The wind has blown out the light, but we have no need to worry. The LIGHT shines on.

  Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12

Shielding from the wind...

We have light!

 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 

2 Corinthians 4:6 

Praying this for Pratunam Pra-in and all of Thailand.
