RENEW ME O ETERNAL LIGHT: Sunday, January 26th: SCRIPTURE FULFILLED. Sometimes the light Jesus shines into our life hurts our eyes. That’s what happened in Nazareth when Jesus announced that his hometown crowd were witnessing Scripture being fulfilled. But they closed their eyes tight and the darkness reigned. We pray that the Holy Spirit would continually pry our eyes open to see that all God’s Word is fulfilled in Jesus even when it may be challenging for us to hear!
