Scripture:  Luke (NIV) 11:33 “No-one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Observation:   Such a simple statement of truth.  When the lamp is not burning, it can be kept in a closet or cupboard, hidden from view.  But once it is burning, it is placed where it will best spread its light.

Application:  When the Lord puts the fire of His Holy Spirit within me, I should not be surprised when people see me and ask questions.  I should expect that He will place in places where I will be seen.

Prayer:   Lord, may my life shine for your glory today.  When people see me may they see your light shining from within.  Keep the globe of my life clean so that I do not distract from your light shining inside. Amen
