Lamp
27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord
that sheds light on one’s inmost being. Proverbs 20:27
Have
you ever noticed when you walk into a room how much light a lamp puts
out? Typically lamps are only meant for a small area to either accent a
room, provide a reading light, or just add to darkened room. Can you
imagine what a room would look like without a lamp? I think it could be
very dark and dreary, and a place I sure wouldn't want to spend time at
unless I was sleeping. Jesus is the Light of the World, so we all know
how much light He is capable of putting forth, but have you ever
thought about how much light you put out? When you spend time focusing
on the negativity in your life, the human spirit does not shine, however
when you take your time to look at how blessed your life is, the human
spirit shines brightly. God uses our spirits to help shed His light to
others, so don't spend time focusing on the negative by leaving your
lamp turned off in the corner. Shine your lamp to shed light on all God
has to offer, and spend time with those who want to shine their lamp.
Pretty soon you will have a fully lit room and can have a significant
influence on those whose lights just are flickering.
Have a great weekend.
