Guide Me to a Safe Harbor!
The fear of uncertain and foreboding seas on a dark night is only relieved by the reassuring beam of a Lighthouse.
For centuries seafarers have welcomed the assurance afforded by these great lights, leading them to safe harbors and rest.
Today, like seafarers of the past, countless people find themselves on the very dark and troubled "sea of life," desperately longing and searching for a harbor of safety. Well, today there is good news for all of them. You see, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12). He also tells us in the Bible just how we may come to Him and secure that life in Him, the true Light.
1. Admit that we need the true Light.
"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19). "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10).
2. Realize the penalty for rejecting the Light.
"Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).
3. Believe that Christ, in His death on the cross, made the Light available to you.
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God..." (1 Peter 3:18). "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6).
4. Personally receive the Light.
"But as many as received Him [Jesus the Light], to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name..." (John 1:12). "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Just say this to Him with your whole heart:
Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for me. I realize that I'm a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, was buried, and three days later He rose from the grave. I receive Him as my Lord and Savior right now. I put my life and my trust in Him. I confess my sins and ask Your forgiveness. Thank You for being the true Lighthouse that I needed so desperately. Help me to live for You the rest of my life. Amen.
