Charles Stanley Daily Devotional 15 January 2026 (In Touch) Thursday Message
Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Wholly Available
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:13-16
Ask yourself this question: When it comes to my faith, what kind of light am I? Is your light a flicker others can see only if they’re really looking? Or is it the kind that brightens everything up when you walk into a room? Remember, when even a small flame is strong, it brings light to the whole room. So, as Christians, we ought to “shine,” no matter where we are.
Shortsightedness may be what dims our radiance, and it can cause us to miss out on blessings. Before deciding to cooperate with the Lord, we may think we have to see exactly what He plans to do. But we are called just to be faithful ambassadors who trust His Spirit to do the work in people’s hearts.
As believers, we are all special—God’s “workmanship” is the term used in Ephesians 2:10. We’re members of His family, indwelt by the Holy Spirit; His light is the radiance within us. So our life has potential beyond imagination. We have no idea what amazing things the Lord can do through our willingness simply to shine the light of His powerful love.
If you’ll pray, “Father, do whatever You want with my life,” you can be sure that He’ll reveal the next step. God is willing and ready to move in the life of anyone who chooses to be available for Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 49-50
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Believers are called to be God’s light in the world.
