Are you shining or not? Are you grumpy and impatient with those whose lives intersect with your life, or are the majority of your words spoken with patience and love? If there is one thing that is true about light, it is that it attracts bugs! There are thousands of “bugs” out there who need your light and will come running toward you when you simply turn your light up a notch. There are fearful people who have only known darkness in their lives who need your light to show them the way.
Light is a visible substance, and your faith should be visible, as well! It is a pure-gold issue of maximum priority that your light is burning at full strength and is properly cared for. Do you share your faith freely and often? Or have you hidden your faith and your testimony under a bushel of embarrassment? You must shine! You simply must!
We are now the priests who have been assigned the immense responsibility of ensuring that the light in the tabernacle, which is us, burns day and night without ceasing or without sputtering.
The lampstand in the New Testament temple is a lamp of encouragement and hope. It is a light of kindness and patience. Its light is a source of testimony and power. As God’s people who are alive at this strategic moment in history, we have become the beautiful and intricate lampstand that sheds His light into dark and lonely places. As believers, we must be diligent and vigilant to ensure that our lives shine with His light and that it never fades regardless of the darkness surrounding us in this world.
You have been given a job assignment by God the Father; your job is to act as a priest who forever presides over the light in His temple. God’s house was never meant to be a place of darkness, murky living, or gloom, but because we are living on Earth as the representation of the tabernacle of His presence, the light of His presence should never subside or fade. Know your job and then do it! Shine as a vibrant demonstration of all that He has called you to be in Him!
