This Little Light of Mine

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable. But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God’s blessing is never on it. God will take the initiative against this kind of daydreaming by prodding us to action. His instructions to us will be along the lines of this: “Don’t sit or stand there, just go!” CHAMBERS

 

James 4:17  “[…] to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”  Do you know what it is you are supposed to do, where you are supposed to go, how you are supposed to live ..but it never has been a reality for you?  You have never acted upon what you know you are to do?  Sin means to miss the mark .. to live in disobedience toward God.  If you know what you are supposed to do .. you should do it .. not just think about it.

 

What keeps you from obeying? Do you love the world more than God? Are you afraid that God won’t take care of you? Are you afraid of losing relationships with people you care about? When Jesus was in the boat with the disciples and they woke Him up because they were afraid they were going to die, He asked them “Why is it that you are so fearful … why is it that you have no faith?” Mark 4:40.

 

Jesus might ask us the same questions.  The Christian life is more than a thought life .. it is to be lived out before a lost and dying world.  Let you light shine .. don’t hide it under a bushel basket … your life should be a beacon of hope to those who don’t know the Lord.

 

Matthew 5:13-16  "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.  "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
