Coffee Time with Jesus (Yeshua)
Jesus: Day Star
Ye do well that ye take heed,
as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn,
and the day star arises in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19
Jesus is the Day Star. Just as the day star is first seen after the night is ending, so Jesus was first seen after the long, dark night between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Jesus is the Light of the world, who brought salvation to all. When the dark night is filled with fear and discouragement, people lose their way in the dark; they stumble and fall. But the Day Star gives them optimism and hope. When hurting people see the first star of the morning, they fight their way through pain, because of the promise of a new day. Jesus is the Daystar who promises new opportunities for you this coming day.
Jesus, You are my Day Star of Promise. I will not look back on the darkness of my failure. I will not give up in the darkness of despair. I know that help is coming; I will hang on.
Jesus is your Day Star who announces that the pain of the night is over. He comes to help you overcome your hurts and forget your defeats. He can forgive the sin of all your failures. He is the Daystar who introduces a new future. He can give you the strength to be victorious in the day of new challenges.
Jesus, when I see You shining, I know that the night is almost over. I feel optimism from Your presence. Guide me, Day Star, to a better day. Amen.
