Priests of The Light
Friday, August 16, 2024
In ancient Israel, the priests were in charge of lighting the lampstand of God. But they weren't just those who lit the lights, they were in charge of keeping the light burning. As God's priests, we now have to learn to be keepers of the light. Many believers live as if God's light doesn't need keeping, as if it just burns by itself. It's not enough that you lit the light of God in your heart. You have to maintain it, trimming the wick and replenishing the oil to keep your lamp burning. God's light never goes out. However, our lamps can go out if we don't keep them. And they will go out if we don't keep them. 1 Peter 2:9 says you are God's royal priesthood. Therefore, keeping your light burning is your calling and ministry. So trim your wick with obedience, replenish your heart with the oil of His Spirit and the fire of His Word. Guard what's in you, because what's in you is the most precious thing you have- the very light of God. You are the keeper of the light.
