Lamplight

Jan16

“No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear (healthy), your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.” Luke‬ ‭11:33‭-‬36‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.11.34.NASB1995‭‭

The light of Jesus is given to every believer saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That light is not to be put in a cellar, under a basket nor container*¹, nor under a bed*². The light is to give light to all who enter, to all in the house*³.

The light is not for the believer alone, it is to be shared with, given to others.
Jesus is the Light that shines through an obedient, following believer. Your eye is the light to your body.

‭‭to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Acts‬ ‭26:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.26.18.NASB1995

So what are you doing with the Light who lives in you?

🌹for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light
Ephesians‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Restoration & Salvation

Dec22

And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My strength), He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
Isaiah‬ ‭49:5‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.49.5.NASB1995

There is much to celebrate in the birth of Jesus Christ. He was born to restore Israel back to their God and be a Light to the rest of the world for their salvation. What a wonderful gift the Father bestowed upon the world that first Christmas.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Fearless Trust

Reflection

Aug30

One of my most favorite sights of God’s creation is the full moon just above the horizon, large and glowing so beautifully. It fascinates me how it can be so bright when it has no light of its own.

It brings to mind Moses, probably my favorite Bible person who was a sinner. Moses reflected the light of God. Here is his “light” story . . .

It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.
But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded, the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would replace the veil over his face until he went in to speak with Him.
Exodus 34:29‭, 34-‬35 NASB

How is it that Moses’ face shone? Wasn’t it from spending time with God?

Christian, we need time with Jesus so we reflect His light.

🌹Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also (let us also) bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:49 NASB

Let Your Light Shine

Aug8

Are you one of God’s righteous ones?
Then. . .

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Psalms 32:11 NASB

The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.
Psalms 64:10 NASB

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
Psalms 68:3 NASB

Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name.
Psalms 97:12 NASB

When your mind is set on the Lord, and your heart is filled with thankfulness for Holy God, gladness and joy will be written all over your face, and you can’t help but

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 NASB

Vessel of Light

May23

For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
2 Corinthians 4:6‭-‬7‭ NASB

🌹God, thank you for filling this dark vessel with Your glorious Light. Shine Your Light through the broken pieces of this vessel to others around me. I am humbled by the surpassing greatness of Your everlasting power that resides in me. Help me not to waste opportunities to shine the Light of the knowledge of Your glory God in the face of Christ. In the name of Jesus and for His glory, amen.

Path of The Righteous

May9

In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the Light of men (mankind).
John 1:4 NASB

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. — Jesus
John 12:46 NASB

Jesus came as the Light to the world. As believers we have the Light living in and working through us.

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
John 8:12 NASB

The righteous journey from salvation, the light of dawn, to our journey end, the promised land, our light should be shining brighter and brighter until that glorious day when our light will be outshined in the presence of our Lord Jesus.

Is your life shining brighter and brighter?

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14‭-‬16 NASB

🌹But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
Proverbs 4:18 NASB
