Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
One of our LED long life light bulbs started to fade away the other day. It didn’t go out suddenly, just dwindled gradually and we had to replace it.
A couple of days ago we looked at how God has put His Light, the Lord Jesus who is the Light of the world, in each of us who belong to Him, and Jesus told us not to hide our light but to let it shine out, not let it dwindle to a flicker, or go out.
Sometimes when I’m doing a jigsaw I have to have an extension lead to bring a lamp close to me so I have more light to see, and in the same way we are extension leads of Jesus to let His light shine wherever we go. If we extend the light we already have to others, then our light will surely shine brighter and not be like my light bulb that gradually faded away.
Isaiah 58:10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
Maybe things look a bit dark around you and if so Isaiah seems to be saying the same as Jesus. Let the light we have got shine out by helping others, and we’ll find we receive more and more light to break up the darkness around us till it’s as bright as noon! That’s quite a thought.😊
