"Oil Lamps", my first thought when I woke
up this morning. The Lord gave me a beautiful picture of a lovely lamp, full
and that I am not the one who fills the lamp, no need to go looking for oil ~
or the means to get it ~ He fills it and keeps it that way.
We don’t have to worry about the “how”
of letting our lives be light to others, because we are already filled and
being filled by Him. We were never intended to live a life flitting around
looking for “just” the right thing to do in order to please Him. All we “need”
to do is offer this vessel, our body-His lamp, to Him. We put ourselves before
Him every morning as a fresh offering to start the day…He will do the
rest.
Our offering is our willingness to live
and serve Him. What that looks like, where that is and how it is done is all
His doing.
It is in the offering, the open heart,
the willingness that He fills His lamp, that’s us, to overflowing with the Holy
Spirit in order to be His Light Bearers in this world.
Be devoted to one another in love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Romans 12:10 ~ NIV
