Daily Dig for November 3 Eberhard Arnold In today’s world situation it is essential that here and there among people there continue to exist rays of light and hope, spiritual realities by which the unity of God’s peace and the brotherliness of true justice are recognized. This is our only task. Source: God’s Revolution Daily Prayer for November 3 Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5, NIV Lord our God, rule over us in strength, and grant us your light. Let your Spirit be with us to confirm what has already taken place in our hearts, so that we have joy and trust even under all the strain and stress of this life. Shine into the darkness of the world. Shine for all people. May we be shown more and more clearly what we have been created for. Strengthen our faith for the future, our faith in everything good, for however hidden the good may be, it must at last come to the light. May we and all the world bring praise and honor to you. Amen. www.plough.com
