- God has just given Moses specific instructions for building the tabernacle.
- In this verse God gives Moses a specific command to keep the light burning in the temple.
- As a follower of Christ we are told in Matt. 5:14 that “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden."
- You ARE Light.
- It's who you are.
- Whether you feel like it or not... It is your identity.
- Your life is meant to shine.
- Your passion for Christ and His presence is meant to be strong and lasting.
- Don't let anything put out your light.
- Don't let it dim.
- In Matthew 4:19 it says that you can allow "the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of riches, and the desires for other things take over."
- They can choke the word of God in you out so that it can't produce anything.
- They can also put out your light.
- God command the Israelites to prepare a pure oil to keep the lamp burning.
- The oil represents His Spirit.
- Take some time this morning and do a self evaluation.
- Are you as passionate about Christ as you were in the beginning?
- Or has life, stress, distractions and worries put out that light?
- Don't go another day without His presence.
- The secret is in the Pure oil.
- Ask Jesus to fill you with His Spirit.
- Allow His Spirit to ignite the flame again.
- Let that light burn in dark times so that all may see.
- Let your light direct others to The Light!
- Let them see Christ in you!
- Burn Bright, today!
- Have a great Wednesday!
