Verses: Luke 8 : 16 - 18
My thoughts about the verses:
As soon as I read these verses my mind drifts to a song that I will never forget. Do not hide your light under a bushel. Let is shine let it shine. I also remember all of the hand gestures and how excited I was every time we would sing this song. It was a way of showing love and commitment to Jesus. Even as a kid I knew that I wanted to always be in touch with God. I had some rough patches growing up like many of us have. Yet, even when I tried to hide my light God would take away the bushel so that my light could shine to those around me.
The light is our connection to God. We are surrounded with Jesus love. If we listen to Jesus our fire will burn. We will be encouraged to share God to the whole entire world. We are to keep our lamps glowing so we can help others find their way.
Those that hide or put out their fire are hiding from the true spirit of God. There are people that think that they are to keep their understanding of God to their selves. They fear exposing themselves to people. They hide and never share what God has done for them. Though they may seem to people to have a lot it will be taken away.
Prayer:
We thank you for your love. We thank you for shedding your blood for us when we did not deserve it. We thank you for lighting a fire in our hearts. Help us to keep the lamp lit. Help us to never turn from you. In the name of the Risen Savior we pray. Amen
Questions:
Is your light shining? Have you allowed Jesus to use you? Are you hiding your light from the world? What do you need to do so others can see in the darkness and find the love of the life, Jesus?
