January 4th - Split Rock Lighthouse - The Guiding Light of the North Shore Split Rock Lighthouse has stood sentinel over the rocky shoreline of the north shore of Lake Superior for more than 100 years. The beautiful lighthouse remains a significant tourist attraction and is the most photographed lighthouse on the Great Lakes. Ships navigating Lake Superior had few references, and after multiple boats ran aground on the rocky cliffs during violent storms, Split Rock Light was commissioned. I can only imagine the relief sailors would feel once they recognized the flashing light pattern of Split Rock and other lighthouses around the lake, especially during foul weather. Much like the hope that the storm-tossed sailors had in knowing they would soon see the sure light of Split Rock, so, we have that same hope in knowing God is with us, never changing and steadfast on the rock of Jesus Christ. You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light. 2 Samuel 22:29 If you are not going through turbulent waters today, tomorrow is no guarantee. So today, put your hope and trust in the truth of the gospel and let Jesus guide your path.
