"And He was saying to them, 'A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.'" -Mark 4:21-23 (NASB)
My daughter recently received a "magic flashlight". The flashlight is a UV light that can reveal hidden secrets when you shine it on a special book or reveal a variety of "hidden" colors when it shines on her special rock collection. The secrets and hidden colors are revealed in her shining light, just as our lives are to reflect God's love, truth, and power for all to see!
The truth of God should not be hidden. God has no secrets. He loves us. He wants to forgive us, but we must accept His forgiveness and the plan of salvation through belief and faith in His Son, Jesus. Once we are saved by His grace, our lives should be a "magic flashlight" or a lamp on a stand that shines out and reveals to others the power and majesty of our God.
Don't hide the light God has given you, but shine it so that others can see His love, truth, and power!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for saving me. Thank You for loving me, forgiving me, and allowing Your power to protect me. Help me to shine into the darkness so that You can be revealed to those that are stumbling through the dark searching for answers. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
